[RFC PATCH 0/3] UBIFS: add ACL support

[Sheng Yong]

UBIFS ACL is based on xattr. Three structures, ubifs_acl_header,
ubifs_acl_entry, and ubifs_acl_entry_short are used to format the ACL
value on flash.

ACL format between in-memory and on-flash is switched before writting
it to flash and after reading it from flash. The writting and reading
operations are implemented by generic set/get xattr functions. ACL of
a new file is inheritted from the parent directory when creating new
inode.

For xattr, generic functions of setting and getting xattr are splited
from original ubifs_setxattr and ubifs_getxattr so that ACL could use
them.

Thanks,
Sheng
