The ppace array is not freed if one of the init_acl_state() calls inside parse_dacl() fails. At the moment the function may fail only due to the memory allocation errors so it's highly unlikely in this case but nevertheless a fix is needed. Move ppace allocation after the init_acl_state() calls with proper error handling. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).
