Typo, in all 3 patches.

no "\n" and please un-indent the string so it fits 80 columns.

I found some error handling issues, before the switch, there's
btrfs_free_path and there's one more at the make_bad label.

To fix that, please set path = NULL after the first btrfs_free_path, it
can handle a NULL when it's called again.

Next thing I'm not sure about are the ACLs that get initialized in some
cases. There's cache_no_acl() that only resets the inode::i_acl and
inode::i_default_acl, so I think this should be called too. Thanks.
