This needs to be done under the correct spin locks, so please use the
helper nfs_mark_for_revalidate() instead of attempting to open coding
it.

We actually used to compound setacl with a GETATTR(FATTR4_WORD0_ACL) in
order to ensure that the server sets it correctly. Unfortunately, that
caused some servers to return NFS4ERR_RESOURCE due to the burden of
caching all that acl information in the duplicate request queue.

I'd be fine with adding an ordinary getattr request, though, as long as
it is allowed to fail (i.e. the result of __nfs4_proc_set_acl() must
only depend on the setacl).
