OMG, Dmitry... Looks like storage work clouded your mind and you are looking to 
some other sources.
There is no "L3" in the bug.
Because posix_acl_update_mode() in called from ext4_xattr_set_acl() (i.e on 
"L2").
Thus pointer is set to NULL on "L2" and released on "L1".
IOW, pointer is leaked.

So you are telling me that:
ext4_xattr_set_acl
L1 acl = posix_acl_from_xattr 
L2 -> ext4_set_acl(handle, inode, type, acl)
L3->posix_acl_update_mode(inode, &inode->i_mode, &acl)
  *acl = NULL;
  You are saying that instruction above can affect value at L1?
  HOW? acl passed to ext4_set_acl() by value, so
  posix_acl_update_mode() can affect value only in L2 and L3 but not L1. 

Stas, have you drunk a lousy beer today?
