ext4: add missing error check in __ext4_new_inode()
It's possible for ext4_get_acl() to return an ERR_PTR. So we need to add a check for this case in __ext4_new_inode(). Otherwise on an error we can end up oops the kernel. This was getting triggered by xfstests generic/388, which is a test which exercises the shutdown code path. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
