When changing a file's acl mask, __reiserfs_set_acl() will first set the
group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
actual extended attribute representing the new acl.
If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the file
had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on assume
that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits, potentially
granting access to the wrong users.
Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.
Also make reiserfs_xattr_set_handle() return -ENODATA only in case of
actual error, and return 0 when requested deletion of a nonexistent acl.
This is more consistent with the behaviour of other *_xattr_set()
functions and makes the patch simpler.
