When a branch filesystem doesn't cache ACL, aufs should not cache
either.  Until now aufs has never met such fs, but theoretically it
could happen.  Actually, in linux-v5.1-rc1, NFSv3 changed its behaviour
by the commit
	ded52fbe7020 2019-02-20 nfs: fix xfstest generic/099 failed on nfsv3
The commit ded52fbe7020 doesn't "forget" the previous acl though.
Doesn't it mean that the obsoleted acl is kept until NFS's attribute
cache is expired?  I don't know.  I've asked it on LKML, but got no
answer.

This is detected by the commit in v5.3-rc1,
	d6fc9fcbaa65 2019-07-08 kbuild: compile-test exported headers to
		ensure they are self-contained
But the issue is not for v5.3-rc1 only I am afraid.  So this commit is
brought to aufs4.14 which is my current development base.

The scenario is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".
One exception is that this commit is for sbinfo object which is managed
by kobject (instead of kref).

In order to enter the plink-maintenance mode, users write an ID to
"/proc/fs/aufs/plink_maint" (this path is defined as macros in
include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h).  If someone else is unmounting the
aufs mount corresponding that ID, then the searcher task may find a
being freed sbinfo object.
The problem and the fix is very similar to previous commit
"aufs: bugfix, ignore the being freed dynop object".

(cherry picked from commit 949b498ae30797b19b9e7ac9b230815f31ffe378)

Aufs DYNOP (Dynamically customizable FS operations) object is managed by
kref, and when its counter reaches zero, the callback function removes
the object from the internal list which is protected by a spinlock and
then frees the object.
Here there is a small time window between
A: the counter reaches zero, and
B: require the lock to remove the object from the list.
If someone else acquires the lock and searches the list, it may find the
counter-zero'ed object which means the object is being freed.
This commit ignores the object whose counter is already zero.
