4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>
commit 996fc4477a0ea28226b30d175f053fb6f9a4fa36 upstream.
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.
