acl: add vfs_remove_acl()
In previous patches we implemented get and set inode operations for all
non-stacking filesystems that support posix acls but didn't yet
implement get and/or set acl inode operations. This specifically
affected cifs and 9p.

Now we can build a posix acl api based solely on get and set inode
operations. We add a new vfs_remove_acl() api that can be used to set
posix acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and type conversion
issues explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid of.

After we finished building the vfs api we can switch stacking
filesystems to rely on the new posix api and then finally switch the
xattr system calls themselves to rely on the posix acl api.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
