Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: fix 'passing zero to ERR_PTR()' warning

Resolve the following Smatch static checker warning:
	fs/gfs2/acl.c:54 __gfs2_get_acl() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'

by returning NULL when an extended attribute length is zero, instead of
passing on zero to the ERR_PTR().

Signed-off-by: Deepak R Varma <drv@...lo.com>

Please note: Patch is build tested only.
