[patch] posix_acl: cleanup posix_acl_create()

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If posix_acl_create() returns an error code then "*acl" and
"*default_acl" can be uninitialized or point to freed memory.  This
causes problems in some of the callers where it is expected that they
are NULL on error.  For example, ocfs2_reflink() has a bug.

	fs/ocfs2/refcounttree.c:4329 ocfs2_reflink()
	error: potentially using uninitialized 'default_acl'.

I have re-written this function and re-arranged things so that they are
set to NULL at the start and then only set to a valid pointer at the end
of the function.
