------------------------------------------------------
Subject: knfsd: nfsd4: acls: don't return explicit mask
From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@snoopy.citi.umich.edu>

Return just the effective permissions, and forget about the mask.  It isn't
worth the complexity.

WARNING: This breaks backwards compatibility with overly-picky nfsv4->posix
acl translation, as may has been included in some patched versions of libacl. 
To our knowledge no such version was every distributed by anyone outside citi.
