Subject: [PATCH 3.16 127/192] ext4: Don't clear SGID when inheriting ACLs

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit a3bb2d5587521eea6dab2d05326abb0afb460abd upstream.

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.

Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of
__ext4_set_acl() into ext4_set_acl(). That way the function will not be
called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID
bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create()
anyway.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Keep using ext4_current_time()
 - Adjust context]
