ocfs2/acl: use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute



The race between *set_acl and *get_acl will cause getting incomplete
xattr data as below:

  processA                                    processB

  ocfs2_set_acl
    ocfs2_xattr_set
      __ocfs2_xattr_set_handle

                                              ocfs2_get_acl_nolock
                                                ocfs2_xattr_get_nolock:

processB may get incomplete xattr data if processA hasn't set_acl done.

So we should use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute in
ocfs2_get_acl_nolock(), as other processes could be changing it
concurrently.
