lockfile API users: simplify and don't leak "path"

Fix a memory leak in code added in 6c622f9f0bb (commit-graph: write
commit-graph chains, 2019-06-18). We needed to free the "lock_name" if
we encounter errors, and the "graph_name" after we'd run unlink() on
it.

For the case of write_commit_graph_file() refactoring the code to free
the "lock_name" after we were done using the "struct lock_file lk"
would have made the control flow more complex. Luckily we can free the
"lock_file" right after the hold_lock_file_for_update() call, if it
makes use of "path" at all it'll have copied its contents to a "struct
strbuf" of its own.

While I'm at it let's fix code added in fb10ca5b543 (sparse-checkout:
write using lockfile, 2019-11-21) in write_patterns_and_update() to
avoid the same complexity that I thought I needed when I wrote the
initial fix for write_commit_graph_file(). We can free the
"sparse_filename" right after calling hold_lock_file_for_update(), we
don't need to wait until we're exiting the function to do so.
