nfsd4: don't create unnecessary mask acl
Any setattr of the ACL attribute, even if it sets just the basic 3-ACE
ACL exactly as it was returned from a file with only mode bits, creates
a mask entry, and it is only the mask, not group, entry that is changed
by subsequent modifications of the mode bits.
So, for example, it's surprising that GROUP@ is left without read or
write permissions after a chmod 0666:
touch test
chmod 0600 test
nfs4_getfacl test
A::OWNER@:rwatTcCy
A::GROUP@:tcy
A::EVERYONE@:tcy
nfs4_getfacl test | nfs4_setfacl -S - test #
chmod 0666 test
nfs4_getfacl test
A::OWNER@:rwatTcCy
A::GROUP@:tcy
D::GROUP@:rwa
A::EVERYONE@:rwatcy
So, let's stop creating the unnecessary mask ACL.
A mask will still be created on non-trivial ACLs (ACLs with actual named
user and group ACEs), so the odd posix-acl behavior of chmod modifying
only the mask will still be left in that case; but that's consistent
with local behavior.
