acl: add vfs_set_acl()

In previous patches we implemented get and set inode operations for all
non-stacking filesystems that support posix acls but didn't yet
implement get and/or set acl inode operations. This specifically
affected cifs and 9p.

Now we can build a posix acl api based solely on get and set inode
operations. We add a new vfs_set_acl() api that can be used to set posix
acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and type conversion issues
explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid of.

After we finished building the vfs api we can switch stacking
filesystems to rely on the new posix api and then finally switch the
xattr system calls themselves to rely on the posix acl api.
