[BUG] nfs3_list_one_acl oops

[Russell King - ARM Linux]

Today, I got a nice oops while trying to update my initramfs:

The problem is that get_acl() does *not* return NULL on error, it returns
an error code.  Hence this:

+	acl = get_acl(inode, type);
+	if (!acl)
+		return 0;

introduced by 74adf83f5d77 ("nfs: only show Posix ACLs in listxattr if
actually present") ends up breaking when get_acl() fails (as is the case
if NFS is used against a server with ACL support disabled.)

The original commit was marked for stable, which means that this brokenness
is going to spread to all stable kernels.

I've included <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> in the Cc list so they can hold off
spreading the broken patch further into stable trees until this issue is
resolved.
