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

From: Deepak R Varma
Date: Thu Sep 28 2023 - 14:08:09 EST


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().
