please run this through xfstests as well. Note the following fixes /
improvements I've made in the course of reviewing this; they've
obviously not been merged, yet:

The get_acl inode operation should no longer call set_cached_acl; the
cached ACL is updated automatically. (It's correct to use
set_cached_acl in the set_acl inode operation though.)

Why the inode locking here?

Same here.

This call to cache_no_acl doesn't make sense; please check. It may be
wrong in btrfs as well; copying Josef for that.

The pattern ubifs_budget_space / ubifs_new_inode / ubifs_init_acl /
ubifs_init_security repeats a number of times in the code, so it
should probably be put in a function.

There are several filesystems like ubifs that use the xattr
representation as the on-disk format, so ubifs_get_acl and
ubifs_set_acl could be abstracted and shared across those filesystems.
The rest looks good.
