Subject: posix_acl: Add set_posix_acl

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

commit 485e71e8fb6356c08c7fc6bcce4bf02c9a9a663f upstream.

Factor out part of posix_acl_xattr_set into a common function that takes
a posix_acl, which nfsd can also call.

The prototype already exists in include/linux/posix_acl.h.
