ovl: don't cache acl on overlay layer
Some operations (setxattr/chmod) can make the cached acl stale. We either need to clear overlay's acl cache for the affected inode or prevent acl caching on the overlay altogether. Preventing caching has the following advantages: - no double caching, less memory used - overlay cache doesn't go stale when fs clears it's own cache Possible disadvantage is performance loss. If that becomes a problem get_acl() can be optimized for overlayfs. This patch disables caching by pre setting i_*acl to a value that - has bit 0 set, so is_uncached_acl() will return true - is not equal to ACL_NOT_CACHED, so get_acl() will not overwrite it The constant -3 was chosen for this purpose.
