[ 123/184] ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_xattr_set_acl()s

[Willy Tarreau]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
 error path

From: Eugene Shatokhin <eugene.shatokhin@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 24ec19b0ae83a385ad9c55520716da671274b96c upstream.

In ext4_xattr_set_acl(), if ext4_journal_start() returns an error,
posix_acl_release() will not be called for 'acl' which may result in a
memory leak.

This patch fixes that.
