[PATCH 1/3] efi_loader: Prevent dereferencing NULL pointer

Taking the first goto error: in file_open could either result in an
attempt to dereference fh when NULL or else free fh->path which has
not been assigned to and so will be unknown. Avoid both of these
problems by passing path to free instead of fh->path.
This issue found by Smatch.
