path: add cleanup helper

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2085849

[ Upstream commit ff2c570ef7eaa9ded58e7a02dd7a68874a897508 ]

Add a simple cleanup helper so we can cleanup struct path easily.
No need for any extra machinery. Avoid DEFINE_FREE() as it causes a
local copy of struct path to be used. Just rely on path_put() directly
called from a cleanup helper.
