Subject: [PATCH] nfsd4: fix acl buffer overrun

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...hat.com>

4ac7249ea5a0ceef9f8269f63f33cc873c3fac61 "nfsd: use get_acl and
->set_acl" forgets to set the size in the case get_acl() succeeds, so
_posix_to_nfsv4_one() can then write past the end of its allocation.
Symptoms were slab corruption warnings.

Also, some minor cleanup while we're here.  (Among other things, note
that the first few lines guarantee that pacl is non-NULL.)

Fortunately my mistake was at the end of the bisect so the offending
commit was nearby (and clearly labeled "nfsd:...").  This fixes the
regression I was seeing.  I intend to include it in a pull request for
3.14 soon.
