Compute upper bound owner, group, and other file masks with as few
permissions as possible without denying any permissions that the NFSv4
acl in a richacl grants.

This algorithm is used when a file inherits an acl at create time and
when an acl is set via a mechanism that does not provide file masks
(such as setting an acl via nfsd).  When user-space sets an acl via
setxattr, the extended attribute already includes the file masks.

Setting an acl also sets the file mode permission bits: they are
determined by the file masks; see richacl_masks_to_mode().
