In ocfs2_reflink_xattr_rec(), meta_ac and data_ac are allocated by
calling ocfs2_lock_reflink_xattr_rec_allocators().
Once an error occurs when allocating *data_ac, it frees *meta_ac which
is allocated before. Here it mistakenly sets meta_ac to NULL but
*meta_ac. Then ocfs2_reflink_xattr_rec() will try to free meta_ac again
which is already invalid.
