The affected code was refactored out of existence in kernel 3.14. As such,
my patch is inapplicable to 3.14 and later. The replacement set_acl methods
in the various filesystem drivers generally are coded to cope with a NULL
argument; I didn't conduct an exhaustive search but I looked at a few and
didn't notice anything problematic.

Given the above, I see no need to actually test kernel 3.17. Will tag.
