3.13.11.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Tetsuo Handa <[email protected]>

commit f81c20158f8d5f7938d5eb86ecc42ecc09273ce6 upstream.

Commit 9548906b2bb7 ('xattr: Constify ->name member of "struct xattr"')
missed that ocfs2 is calling kfree(xattr->name).  As a result, kernel
panic occurs upon calling kfree(xattr->name) because xattr->name refers
static constant names.  This patch removes kfree(xattr->name) from
ocfs2_mknod() and ocfs2_symlink().
