    GFS2: Fix very unlikley memory leak in ACL xattr code · 114b80ce
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    This was spotted by automated code analysis. In case reading
    an ACL xattr failed (only likely to happen if there is an I/O
    error for example, and even then only with unstuffed xattrs,
    so pretty difficult to trigger) a small amount of memory could
    potentially be leaked.
    
    This patch adds a kfree to the error path, and also removes a
    test which is no longer required (gfs2_ea_get_copy always
    returns either a negative error, or a length)
