I (Wayne) tweaked the patch for style and to avoid using SMB_* constants
with literal values were needed.

I've also updated it to apply to the updated version of the acls.diff,
though I don't know if there might be some bits lost in the current
algorithm when using the file's mode bits to reconstruct a stripped ACL
entry.
