3.5.7.3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eugene Shatokhin <[email protected]> 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.
