4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangc...@gmail.com> commit b5c66bab72a6a65edb15beb60b90d3cb84c5763b upstream. posix_acl_update_mode() could possibly clear 'acl', if so we leak the memory pointed by 'acl'. Save this pointer before calling posix_acl_update_mode() and release the memory if 'acl' really gets cleared.
