Subject: [PATCH] ksmbd: fix reference count leak in smb_check_perm_dacl()

The issue happens in a specific path in smb_check_perm_dacl(). When
"id" and "uid" have the same value, the function simply jumps out of
the loop without decrementing the reference count of the object
"posix_acls", which is increased by get_acl() earlier. This may
result in memory leaks.

Fix it by decreasing the reference count of "posix_acls" before
jumping to label "check_access_bits".

Fixes: 777cad1604d6 ("ksmbd: remove select FS_POSIX_ACL in Kconfig")
