Currently, we do not take into account the size of the 16 byte struct nfs4_cached_acl header, when deciding whether or not we should cache the acl data. Consequently, we will end up allocating an 8k buffer in order to fit a maximum size 4k acl. This patch adjusts the calculation so that we limit the cache size to 4k for the acl header+data.
