I just hate "goto out;" labels...  They're so impossible to review...
Why are we calling forget_cached_acl() when we haven't set anything?  I
have no idea.  Perhaps it's not even intentional.

And on this path we're calling forget_cached_acl(inode, type) with an
invalid "type" so it will trigger a BUG()...  That's obviously not
intended...  Who knows what's going on when all the names are vague and
hand wavy.
