reiserfs: minimal fix for ACL caching

reiserfs uses NULL as "unknown" and ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) as "no ACL";
several codepaths store the former instead of the latter.

All those codepaths go through iset_acl() and all cases when it's
called with NULL acl are for the second variety, so the minimal
fix is to teach iset_acl() to deal with that.

Proper fix is to switch to more usual conventions and avoid back
and forth between internally used ERR_PTR(-ENODATA) and NULL
expected by the rest of the kernel.
