PATCH 2/5 Posix ACL support for ext 2/3 filesystems

This patch (as well as the previous one) implements core ACL support which is needed for XFS as well as ext2/3 ACL support. It causes umask handling to be skilled for inodes that contain POSIX acl's, so that the original mode information can be passed down to the low-level fs code, which will take care of handling the umask.

This patch has been requested by the JFS team as well. Linus, please apply.
