Unlike many of the bogus warnings spewed by gcc, this one actually

No, the calls to posix_acl_valid() in nfs4_acl_posix_to_nfsv4() ensure
that the passed-in acl has ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER
entries, and hence that these fields will always be initialized.
OK
But I don't want anyone else wasting their time on this. Should we cave
in and add the initialization here just to shut up gcc? Or would a
comment here help?
Given what you said above, I don't see gcc, on its best day, will ever
know enough to validate that that variable is indeed always initialized.
So I would vote for silencing it on those grounds.
