[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: Prevent mount with "-o acl" if acl isn't supported.

Currently, if we don't enable CONFIG_OCFS2_FS_POSIX_ACL, ocfs2
will not support acl. That is OK.

But in the following case:
1. kernel isn't built to support acl.
2. mount -t ocfs2 -o acl /dev/sdx /mnt/ocfs2.
It sucesses. And what's more, if I do "mount|grep sdx" will get
/dev/sdx on /mnt/ocfs2 type ocfs2 (rw,acl,heartbeat=none)

So a normal user will just think acl now is ok for the volume and
he will surely be puzzled when he tries setfacl and fails with
"Operation not supported".

The good thing is that the kernel already printk some useful
information, so this patch just tries to prevent the user from
mounting the volume.
