staging/lustre/mdc: Handle empty but non-zero acl xattr
We have found that posix_acl_access can have a value of \002\000\000\000. In that case body->aclsize is non-zero, but the there are no actuall acls stored in the xattr. In mdc_unpack_acl(), it only checks IS_ERR() on the pointer returned by posix_acl_from_xattr(), it does not check for NULL. Because of the above situation, the xattr aclsize can be non-zero, but posic_acl_from_xattr() still returns NULL. Passing NULL to posix_acl_valid() crashes the kernel. We add a check to properly handle the NULL return value. Signed-off-by: Christopher J.
