[PATCH 3.12 017/206] nfsd: fix NFS regression

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Sergio Gelato <Sergio.Gelato@xxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

Fix regression introduced in pre-3.14 kernels by cherry-picking
aa07c713ecfc0522916f3cd57ac628ea6127c0ec (NFSD: Call ->set_acl with a
NULL ACL structure if no entries). This is in v3.12.22 as commit
723ac81c8671b3a095d9eb303974c7bc9964b506.

The affected code was removed in 3.14 by commit
4ac7249ea5a0ceef9f8269f63f33cc873c3fac61 (nfsd: use get_acl
and ->set_acl). The ->set_acl methods are already able to cope with a
NULL argument. So this is not needed for >= 3.14.
