    [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.
