[PATCH] vfs_glusterfs: Make sure posix acls are formatted "before setting"/"after getting"

Simo, Andrew, Jeremy and Chris,

Thank you all for the feedback. I apologize for not replying
earlier, I was on a vacation.

1. I agree with the formatting changes.
2. When I first read the plugin code I had the same questions as
   Jeremy has, but, when I looked at the libacl code:

   a. http://acl.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.2.49-1/____acl__from__xattr_8c-source.html
   b. http://acl.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.2.49-1/acl__ea_8h-source.html

   I was convinced that this was a acceptable way of handling acls. As the plugin interacts
   only with Samba on one side and libgfapi of Gluster on the other, both residing on the
   same machine, I could not think of any case where plugin would need to handle anything
   extra than what libacl does.

Not to undermine any of the reviews, I am asking this just to make it clear to any new
person who would ask the same question of "why din't we do what libacl does?"

Thanks!
