ext4: get rid of ppath in ext4_find_extent()

The use of path and ppath is now very confusing, so to make the code more
readable, pass path between functions uniformly, and get rid of ppath.

Getting rid of ppath in ext4_find_extent() requires its caller to update
ppath. These ppaths will also be dropped later. No functional changes.
