There are some cases for which this makes sense, but I'm not sure ACLs
are one of them. Marking this "knownfail" loses coverage of a large
number of regression test cases that we get right, so long as we
expect our own default ACL back instead of the Windows one.

These cases are *important*, as they test that we get inheritance
right over all ACL cases. To throw them all out just because we
have a different default ACL on non-inheritance is a big case of
throwing the baby out with the bathwater :-).

In order to match Windows behavior here we'd need a separate
"running under test" flag in smb.conf to generate default Windows
ACLs that make no sense under normal circumstances on a POSIX
backend. I'm not sure that's better :-).

It is a separate test (or at least can be run as a separate test,
currently it's a sub-test under raw.acls and smb2.acls).
