has lost all external callers and became static...

new helper: posix_acl_create(&acl, gfp, mode_p).  Replaces acl with
modified clone, on failure releases acl and replaces with NULL.
Returns 0 or -ve on error.  All callers of posix_acl_create_masq()
switched.

new helper: posix_acl_chmod(&acl, gfp, mode).  Replaces acl with modified
clone or with NULL if that has failed; returns 0 or -ve on error.  All
callers of posix_acl_chmod_masq() switched to that - they'd been doing
exactly the same thing.

nfsacl_encode() allocates memory in certain cases.  This of course
is not guaranteed to work.

Since commit 9f06c719 "SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API", the
kernel's XDR encoders can't return a result indicating possibly a
failure, so a memory allocation failure in nfsacl_encode() has become
fatal (ie, the XDR code Oopses) in some cases.

However, the allocated memory is a tiny fixed amount, on the order
of 40-50 bytes.  We can easily use a stack-allocated buffer for
this, with only a wee bit of nose-holding.

This simple implementation just checks for no ACLs on the inode, and
if so, then the rcu-walk may proceed, otherwise fail it.

This could easily be extended to put acls under RCU and check them
under seqlock, if need be. But this implementation is enough to show
the rcu-walk aware permissions code for path lookups is working, and
will handle cases where there are no ACLs or ACLs in just the final
element.

This patch implicity converts tmpfs to rcu-aware permission check.
Subsequent patches onvert ext*, xfs, and, btrfs. Each of these uses
acl/permission code in a different way, so convert them all to provide
templates and proof of concept.

This is required for cluster filesystems which want to use
cached ACLs so that they can invalidate the cache when
required.

 - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
