ovl: fix POSIX ACL setting
Setting POSIX ACL needs special handling: 1) Some permission checks are done by ->setxattr() which now uses mounter's creds ("ovl: do operations on underlying file system in mounter's context"). These permission checks need to be done with current cred as well. 2) Setting ACL can fail for various reasons. We do not need to copy up in these cases. In the mean time switch to using generic_setxattr. [Arnd Bergmann] Fix link error without POSIX ACL. posix_acl_from_xattr() doesn't have a 'static inline' implementation when CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL is disabled, and I could not come up with an obvious way to do it. This instead avoids the link error by defining two sets of ACL operations and letting the compiler drop one of the two at compile time depending on CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL. This avoids all references to the ACL code, also leading to smaller code. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
