Moving it to common code seems like a good appraoch.

Jiffin had quite a complete set of tests while he was working on the
conversion. We should probably add these to the CI.

I have seen requests for supporting ACLs in the Gluster/NFS (v3 only)
server. But those came at the time when NFSv4 was not much used yet. I
think there is no large demand for NFSv3 + ACLs, most users will be able
to use NFSv4 now.
