[PATCH 3.12 01/58] nfsd: fix problem with setting ACL on directories

[Jiri Slaby]

From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx>

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

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

This is a regression of 3.12 stable commit
ba1816b40a87a3f3c4ca9cd54a593a10d87bd391 (nfsd: fix NFS regression).

If a non-inherited ACL is set on a directory, nfsd will try to set the Posix
default ACL to NULL.  This gets converted to "" by generic_setxattr().
As "" is not a valid posix acl attribute value, this results in an error.

So instead of setting the xattr to NULL, remove it.

Fixes: ba1816b40a ("nfsd: fix NFS regression")
