stat-prefetch: fix dirname(3) usage
glibc dirname() modify the string it is given and returns it.
glusterfs takes this behavior for granted, and assume that if it
gives a malloc'ed string to dirname(), then it can free()) the
return value.
Here is what SUSv2 says:
http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/dirname.html
"The dirname() function may modify the string pointed to by path,
and may return a pointer to static storage"
At least NetBSD returns a static storage. glusterfs will return it to
a calling function that has the responsability to free it, causing
a SIGSEGV.
