ext4: avoid use-after-free in ext4_ext_show_leaf()

In ext4_find_extent(), path may be freed by error or be reallocated, so
using a previously saved *ppath may have been freed and thus may trigger
use-after-free, as follows:

ext4_split_extent
  path = *ppath;
  ext4_split_extent_at(ppath)
  path = ext4_find_extent(ppath)
  ext4_split_extent_at(ppath)
    // ext4_find_extent fails to free path
    // but zeroout succeeds
  ext4_ext_show_leaf(inode, path)
    eh = path[depth].p_hdr
    // path use-after-free !!!

Similar to ext4_split_extent_at(), we use *ppath directly as an input to
ext4_ext_show_leaf(). Fix a spelling error by the way.

Same problem in ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents(). Since 'path' is only
used in ext4_ext_show_leaf(), remove 'path' and use *ppath directly.

This issue is triggered only when EXT_DEBUG is defined and therefore does
not affect functionality.
