Subject: [PATCH 1/2] afs: Fix warning due to unadvanced marshalling pointer

When using the afs.yfs.acl xattr to change an AuriStor ACL, a warning can
be generated when the request is marshalled because the buffer pointer
isn't increased after adding the last element, thereby triggering the check
at the end if the ACL wasn't empty.  This just causes something like the
following warning, but doesn't stop the call from happening successfully:

    kAFS: YFS.StoreOpaqueACL2: Request buffer underflow (36<108)

Fix this simply by increasing the count prior to the check.

Fixes: f5e4546347bc ("afs: Implement YFS ACL setting")
