Subject: [PATCH -V4 04/11] vfs: Add generic IS_ACL() test for acl support

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@...e.de>

When IS_POSIXACL() is true, the vfs does not apply the umask.  Other acl
models will need the same exception, so introduce a separate IS_ACL()
test.

The IS_POSIX_ACL() test is still needed so that nfsd can determine when
the underlying file system supports POSIX ACLs (as opposed to some other
kind).
