A small memory leak appeared in test_os with the PEP 383 checkins. The
leak occurs in test_rename and is due to posix_2str. Here is a patch.

The problem is more general. It can always happen that another argument
conversion fails after the O& conversion had failed. Instead of going
through the code and fixing each and every usage of the FSConverter
callback, I'd rather want to discuss a more general solution, where
PyArg_ParseTuple will invoke cleanup itself.

I opened #6012 to handle O& memory leak issue.
