FWIW, here is the alternative patch. I've tested it, and it seems to
work.

Subject: [PATCH] NFSv3: Fix return values for get_acl()
Ensure that nfs3_get_acl() returns NULL when the server doesn't support
POSIX acls. This ensures that posix_acl_create() does the right thing,
and applies the current_umask() to the mode before returning.
Add a wrapper around posix_acl_xattr_get() so that we continue to
return EOPNOTSUPP when the server doesn't support POSIX acls. Otherwise,
the NULL return from nfs3_get_acl() will cause ENODATA to be returned.
Also add the appropriate exports to posix_acl_xattr_get, posix_acl_xattr_set
and posix_acl_xattr_list to enable their use in the wrapper.
