    nfsd: check permissions when setting ACLs · 28a6d048

    Use set_posix_acl, which includes proper permission checks, instead of
    calling ->set_acl directly.  Without this anyone may be able to grant
    themselves permissions to a file by setting the ACL.
    
    Lock the inode to make the new checks atomic with respect to set_acl.
    (Also, nfsd was the only caller of set_acl not locking the inode, so I
    suspect this may fix other races.)
    
    This also simplifies the code, and ensures our ACLs are checked by
    posix_acl_valid.
    
    The permission checks and the inode locking were lost with commit
    4ac7249e, which changed nfsd to use the set_acl inode operation directly
    instead of going through xattr handlers.
