Subject: [PATCH 4/4] nfs/super: check NFS_CAP_ACLS instead of the NFS version

This sets MS_POSIXACL only if ACL support is really enabled, instead
of always setting MS_POSIXACL if the NFS protocol version
theoretically supports ACL.

The code comment says "We will [apply the umask] ourselves", but that
happens in posix_acl_create() only if the kernel has POSIX ACL
support.  Without it, posix_acl_create() is an empty dummy function.

So let's not pretend we will apply the umask if we can already know
that we will never.

This fixes a problem where the umask is always ignored in the NFS
client when compiled without CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL.  This is a 4 year
old regression caused by commit 013cdf1088d723 which itself was not
completely wrong, but failed to consider all the side effects by
misdesigned VFS code.
