[Patch] Wrong error handling in nfs4acl

From: Eric Sesterhenn

hi,

this fixes coverity id #3. Coverity detected dead code,
since the == -1 comparison only returns 0 or 1 to error.
Therefore the if ( error < 0 ) statement was always false.
Seems that this was an if( error = nfs4... ) statement some time
ago, which got broken during cleanup.
Just compile tested.
