(cherry pick from commit 07393101)

When file permissions are modified via chmod(2) and the user is not in
the owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit is cleared in
inode_change_ok().  Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr(2) sets the file
permissions as well as the new ACL, but doesn't clear the setgid bit in
a similar way; this allows to bypass the check in chmod(2).  Fix that.

NB: conflicts resolution included extending the change to all visible
    users of the near deprecated function posix_acl_equiv_mode
    replaced with posix_acl_update_mode. We did not resolve the ACL
    leak in this CL, require additional upstream fixes.
