[LUCID][PATCH] UBUNTU: enforce CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y

SRU Jusitification:

Impact: Without this change, a flavour may be created without
POSIX ACL support in /dev. This prevents some devices from
functioning.

How Addressed: The change adds an enforcement statement.

Regression Potential: This is a build system change, so as
long as the kernel builds there is no regression.

=====

Some /dev nodes, like /dev/dsp, require POSIX ACLs. This change
enforces this setting.
