Ocfs2 devel - Mar 2014 - ocfs2: Fix panic on kfree(xattr->name)

Hi Andrew,

can you please pull the following patch from Tetsuo Handa. It fixes a
regression in ocfs2/mainline and linux-next

Thanks,
--Srini

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel at I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp>

Commit 9548906b 'xattr: Constify ->name member of "struct
xattr".' missed that
ocfs2 is calling kfree(xattr->name). As a result, kernel panic occurs upon
calling kfree(xattr->name) because xattr->name refers static constant
names.
This patch removes kfree(xattr->name) from ocfs2_mknod() and ocfs2_symlink().
