I've reverted it.  Please make this change on master instead, and
please don't make any non-trivial, non-documentation changes on
emacs-26 without asking first.

This particular issue has some history, and bumped into several
different use cases, each one with its unique requirements.  It's too
late now to set us back to the beginning of that history on the
release branch, because we will never be able to reliably test all
those use cases in time for the release.

More generally, someone who has access to FreeBSD and understands its
ACL implementation should look into that, because it sounds like we
have fundamental problems there with moving files from temp directory,
and those problems are just waiting to bite us in random places, like
this one.

Thanks.
