[ Upstream commit 00801cd92d91e94aa04d687f9bb9a9104e7c3d46 ] A recent patch moved ACL setting into nfsd_setattr(). Unfortunately it didn't work as nfsd_setattr() aborts early if iap->ia_valid is 0. Remove this test, and instead avoid calling notify_change() when ia_valid is 0. This means that nfsd_setattr() will now *always* lock the inode. Previously it didn't if only a ATTR_MODE change was requested on a symlink (see Commit 15b7a1b86d66 ("[PATCH] knfsd: fix setattr-on-symlink error return")). I don't think this change really matters.
