Hi Jan,

This patch is causing xfstests generic/314 to fail.  This test is supposed to
test "SGID inheritance on subdirectories", and the failure is because subdir2
unexpectedly ends up without a SGID bit.  This happens because the following
commands now result in the SGID bit on the parent directory "$TEST_DIR/$seq-dir"
being cleared rather than set:

	mkdir $TEST_DIR/$seq-dir
	chown $qa_user:12345 $TEST_DIR/$seq-dir
	chmod 2775 $TEST_DIR/$seq-dir
	su $qa_user -c "setfacl -m u:$qa_user:rwx,d:u:$qa_user:rwx $TEST_DIR/$seq-dir"

Is this the expected behavior now?

Thanks,

Eric
