By the way, the proposed protocol behavior here is odd:  the server
returns a different ACL depending on whether the client requested any of
the new mask attributes in the same GETATTR.

But I suppose there are other cases (rdattr_error, maybe some migration
cases??) where what we return can depend in strange ways on which
attributes were requested, so maybe it's not totally without precedent?
