Ah, right, thanks for the clarification.  I *think* the following
patch in the ext4 dev branch (not yet in Linus's tree, but it should
be in linux-next) should be harmless, though, right?  And once we get
the changes in vfs_prepare_mode() we can revert in ext4 --- or do
folks I think I should just drop it from the ext4 dev branch now?

Thanks,

    ext4: apply umask if ACL support is disabled
    
    The function ext4_init_acl() calls posix_acl_create() which is
    responsible for applying the umask.  But without
    CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL, ext4_init_acl() is an empty inline function,
    and nobody applies the umask.
    
    This fixes a bug which causes the umask to be ignored with O_TMPFILE
    on ext4:
