ovl: use vfs_set_acl_prepare()

The posix_acl_from_xattr() helper should mainly be used in
i_op->get_acl() handlers. It translates from the uapi struct into the
kernel internal POSIX ACL representation and doesn't care about mount
idmappings.

Use the vfs_set_acl_prepare() helper to generate a kernel internal POSIX
ACL representation in struct posix_acl format taking care to map from
the mount idmapping into the filesystem's idmapping.

The returned struct posix_acl is in the correct format to be cached by
the VFS or passed to the filesystem's i_op->set_acl() method to write to
the backing store.
