[EXTERNAL] re: cifs: Retain old ACEs when converting between mode bits and ACL.

[Shyam Prasad N]

Hi Steve,

Please accept this fix for the bug that Colin pointed out.
This can be hit if the server has a corrupted SD, or it got corrupted
over the network.
We used to ignore the ACL in such a case (which in combination with my
patches caused the issue). But I think we should be returning an error
immediately.

Regards,
Shyam
