Qu Wenruo fab0c0f03c btrfs: introduce BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_RELEASE() helper
There are already several bugs with on-stack btrfs_path involved, even
it is already a little safer than btrfs_path pointers (only leaks the
extent buffers, not the btrfs_path structure itself)

- Patch "btrfs: make sure extent and csum paths are always released in
  scrub_raid56_parity_stripe()"

- Patch "btrfs: fix a potential path leak in print_data_reloc_error()"

Thus there is a real need to apply auto release for those on-stack paths.

Introduces a new macro, BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_RELEASE() which defines one
on-stack btrfs_path structure, initialize it all to 0, then call
btrfs_release_path() on it when exiting the scope.

This applies to current 3 on-stack path usages:

- defrag_get_extent() in defrag.c

- print_data_reloc_error() in inode.c
  There is a special case where we want to release the path early before
  the time consuming iterate_extent_inodes() call, thus that manual
  early release is kept as is, with an extra comment added.

- scrub_radi56_parity_stripe() in scrub.c
