[PATCH v5 08/30] 9p: implement set acl method

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

In order to build a type safe posix api around get and set acl we need
all filesystem to implement get and set acl.

So far 9p implemented a ->get_inode_acl() operation that didn't require
access to the dentry in order to allow (limited) permission checking via
posix acls in the vfs. Now that we have get and set acl inode operations
that take a dentry argument we can give 9p get and set acl inode
operations.

This is mostly a light refactoring of the codepaths currently used in 9p
posix acl xattr handler. After we have fully implemented the posix acl
api and switched the vfs over to it, the 9p specific posix acl xattr
handler and associated code will be removed.

Note, until the vfs has been switched to the new posix acl api this
patch is a non-functional change.

Notes:
    /* v2 */
    Al Viro <viro at zeniv.linux.org.uk>:
    - Fix leak due to early return instead of goto.
    
    Christian Brauner (Microsoft) <brauner at kernel.org>:
    - Fix leak and call kfree() when we skip setting posix acls because acl can be
      represented by mode bits.
