A recent change improved the guard on calling nfsd_setattr() from
nfsd_create_setattr() so that it could be called even if ia_valid was
zero - if there was a security label that needed to be set.

Unfortunately this is not sufficient as there could be an ACL that needs
to be set.  Most likely in this case there would also be mode bits so
->ia_valid would not be zero, but it isn't safe to depend on that.

Rather than making nfsd_attrs_valid() more complete, this patch removes
it and places the code in-line at the top of nfsd_setattr().  If there
is nothing to be set, that function now short-circuits to the end where
commit_metadata() is called.

With this change it is appropriate to call nfsd_setattr()
unconditionally.

Hmm... With NFSv4 being one of the filesystems that can now be re-
exported by knfsd, I feel somewhat queasy when I see POSIX acl-specific
code being added to a generic function. We'll want to push it down
closer to the filesystem-specific code when we fix re-exporting.

So can we please put that, at least, in its own function?
