[PATCH] Fix reiserfs deadlock
reiserfs_cache_default_acl() should return whether we successfully found the acl or not. We have to return correct value even if reiserfs_get_acl() returns error code and not just 0. Otherwise callers such as reiserfs_mkdir() can unnecessarily lock the xattrs and later functions such as reiserfs_new_inode() fail to notice that we have already taken the lock and try to take it again with obvious consequences.
