c7afb0f977 [JFFS2][XATTR] Fix memory leak in POSIX-ACL support
jffs2_clear_acl() which releases acl caches allocated by kmalloc()
was defined but it was never called. Thus, we faced to the risk
of memory leaking.

This patch plugs jffs2_clear_acl() into jffs2_do_clear_inode().
It ensures to release acl cache when inode is cleared.

aa98d7cf59 [JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)
This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).

There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.

In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.

The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
