In-core acls are copy-on-write, so the reference taken by set_cached_acl() will
do just fine.

Always set up a negative ACL cache entry if the inode can't have ACLs.
That behaves much better than doing this check inside ->check_acl.

Also remove the left over MAY_NOT_BLOCK check.

If we do not want to use ACLs we at least need to perform normal Unix
permission checks.  From the comment I'm not quite sure that's what
is intended, but if 0p wants to do permission checks entirely on the
server it needs to do so in ->permission, not in ->check_acl.

This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

commit fec11dd9 caused
a regression when we have already mounted //server/share/a
and want to mount //server/share/a/b.

The problem is that lookup_one_len calls __lookup_hash
with nd pointer as NULL. Then __lookup_hash calls
do_revalidate in the case when dentry exists and we end
up with NULL pointer deference in cifs_d_revalidate:

if (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU)
	return -ECHILD;

Fix this by checking nd for NULL.

The fsync prototype change commit 02c24a82 accidentally overwrote
the ssize_t return value of xfs_file_aio_write with 0 for SYNC type
writes. Fix this by checking if an error occured when calling
xfs_file_fsync and only change the return value in this case.
In addition xfs_file_fsync actually returns a normal negative error, so
fix this, too.

For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs
and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in
mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just
local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release
reference to file objects.  In fact, only local lock need to have been
taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of
going away until we are ready to unregister them.

The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without
mount point as long term.  The contentions of vfs_mount lock
is now eliminated.  Before un-registering such file system,
kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and
make the mount point ready to be freed.
