Subject: [19/20] xfs: validate acl count

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>

commit fa8b18edd752a8b4e9d1ee2cd615b82c93cf8bba upstream.

This prevents in-memory corruption and possible panics if the on-disk
ACL is badly corrupted.
