[PATCH v2 033/113] fs: always check path_init for errors

[Ahmad Fatoum]

We have three calls to path_init, but Only one of them checks the returned
pointer value for errors. This didn't hurt so far, because the function
always succeeded, but a follow-up commit will cause it to fail in some
circumstances, so prepare for that by duly checking the return value.
