[RFC 11/39] richacl: Compute maximum file masks from an acl

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Compute upper bound owner, group, and other file masks with as few
permissions as possible without denying any permissions that the NFSv4
acl in a richacl grants.

This algorithm is used when a file inherits an acl at create time and
when an acl is set via a mechanism that does not specify file modes
(such as via nfsd).  When user-space sets an acl, the file masks are
passed in as part of the xattr.

When setting a richacl, the file masks determine what the file
permission bits will be set to; see richacl_masks_to_mode().
