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.

Zhihao,

Can you please provide also the backport for 6.1.


Sure, I sent it out, please refer to https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230717030904.1669754-1-chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t.

Basically, the same as this one without the CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL check.

Thanks,
Amir.
