Fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Use the helper ovl_i_path_realinode() to get realinode and then do
non-nullptr checking.

There are some changes from upstream commit:
1. Corrusponds to do_ovl_get_acl() in 5.15 is ovl_get_acl()
2. ovl_i_path_real is not imported in 5.15, we can get realinode by
   ovl_inode_real
3. CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL checking is dropped in commit
   ded536561a3674327dfa4bb389085705cae22b8a ("ovl: improve ovl_get_acl()
   if POSIX ACL support is off"), we still keep it in 5.15.
