Subject: [PATCH 3.16 087/114] ocfs2: dereferencing freed pointers in
 ocfs2_reflink()

3.16.36-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit e073fc58dfe6a4c9b614320c1d56bb71cb213ec4 upstream.

The code at the "out" label assumes that "default_acl" and "acl" are NULL,
but actually the pointers can be NULL, unitialized, or freed.
