Subject: [PATCH 2/2] afs: Fix incorrect freeing of the ACL passed to the YFS
 ACL store op

The cleanup for the yfs_store_opaque_acl2_operation calls the wrong
function to destroy the ACL content buffer.  It's an afs_acl struct, not a
yfs_acl struct - and the free function for latter may pass invalid pointers
to kfree().

Fix this by using the afs_acl_put() function.  The yfs_acl_put() function
is then no longer used and can be removed.
