Right, this is based on the previously posted series (link above), which
fixes up xfs_create() such that we can use it from xfs_generic_create()
via all associated codepaths. Sorry, I probably should have posted this
as a [5/4 ...] patch to make that more clear...

It isn't clear to me what the expectation is with this series at this
point, beyond the agreement that we do want to initialize the acls. It
looks like the v1 patch that only initialized security is merged, so
we're Ok as far as that goes. v2 added the bits to initialize the acls
as well:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-04/msg00182.html

... and followed up with the xfs_create_tmpfile() removal. Is that
(minus the already merged selinux fix) what you're asking for here?

v3 dropped the default acl bits and thus the xfs_generic_create()
handler as well. The xfs_create_tmpfile() cleanup persisted, and now the
default acl bits are required, so it's added back in this 5/4.
