One important implementation detail of the posix_acl_create() function
is that it applies the umask to the "mode" parameter. If
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is disabled, this detail is missing and the umask
may not get applied.

This patch adds the missing code to posix_acl_create() and to three
filesystems that omit the posix_acl_create() call if their individual
ACL support is disabled (CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL,
CONFIG_JFS_POSIX_ACL, CONFIG_CEPH_FS_POSIX_ACL). If
posix_acl_create() never gets called, the umask needs to be applied
anyway.

This bug used to be exploitable easily with O_TMPFILE (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203625) but that part was
fixed by commit ac6800e279a2 ("fs: Add missing umask strip in
vfs_tmpfile") last year. The bug may not be reachable by userspace
anymore, but since it is apparently still necessary to apply the umask
again in posix_acl_create(), there is no reason to assume it's not
necessary with ACL support is disabled.
