The following patch from Trond should fix this issue, I think.

Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix the XDR iovec calculation in nfs3_xdr_setaclargs

Commit ae46141ff08f1965b17c531b571953c39ce8b9e2 (NFSv3: Fix posix ACL code)
introduces a bug in the calculation of the XDR header iovec. In the case
where we are inlining the acls, we need to adjust the length of the iovec
req->rq_svec, in addition to adjusting the total buffer length.
