ext4: do not set posix acls on xattr inodes
We don't need acls on xattr inodes because they are not directly
accessible from user mode.
Besides lockdep complains about recursive locking of xattr_sem as seen
below.
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.11.0-rc8+ #402 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
python/1894 is trying to acquire lock:
(&ei->xattr_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff804878a6>] ext4_xattr_get+0x66/0x270
but task is already holding lock:
(&ei->xattr_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff80489500>] ext4_xattr_set_handle+0xa0/0x5d0
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&ei->xattr_sem);
lock(&ei->xattr_sem);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
