The patch which introuced the bug is not present in 4.6-rc1.

The patch is against next-20160330, the bug was introduced in:

commit ae4e84be32ef6fdf97f10852778597b1a2be3cba
Author: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Mar 24 14:38:37 2016 +0100

    posix_acl: Inode acl caching fixes

Apologies if this should have been handled differently (by replying to the
original patch?)
