In rereading the old bug report, I noticed that FreeBSD is listed as the
only OS that does things the more-efficient way. I looked at the
FreeBSD 8.0 chmod.c source, and what it actually does is apply the
optimization only if it knows that the file system does not have ACLs
(it calls something named "may_have_nfs4acl", because apparently NFSv4
ACLs might change even if you apply a mode that's the same as before).
I suggest that we do something similar.
