Subject: [PATCH v3] ext4: Don't reduce symlink i_mode by umask if no ACL support

    =

If CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dn then the fallback version of ext4_init_acl=
()
will mask off the umask bits from the new inode's i_mode.  This should not
be done if the inode is a symlink.  If CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=3Dy, then =
we
go through posix_acl_create() instead which does the right thing with
symlinks.

However, this is actually unnecessary now as vfs_prepare_mode() has alread=
y
done this where appropriate, so fix this by making the fallback version of
ext4_init_acl() do nothing.

Fixes: 484fd6c1de13 ("ext4: apply umask if ACL support is disabled")
