[PATCH] fs: get_acl() must be allowed to return EOPNOTSUPP

[Trond Myklebust]

posix_acl_xattr_get requires get_acl() to return EOPNOTSUPP if the
filesystem cannot support acls. This is needed for NFS, which can't
know whether or not the server supports acls until it tries to get/set
one.
This patch converts posix_acl_chmod and posix_acl_create to deal with
EOPNOTSUPP return values from get_acl().
