Subject: [GIT PULL] acl updates for v6.3

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
This contains a single update to the internal get acl method and
replaces an open-coded cmpxchg() comparison with with try_cmpxchg().
It's clearer and also beneficial on some architectures.

/* Testing */
clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.2-1
gcc: gcc (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0

All patches are based on v6.2-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new tests in
fstests, selftests, and LTP pass without regressions.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.

The following changes since commit 1b929c02afd37871d5afb9d498426f83432e71c2:

I'm on vacation until v6.2 is released this Sunday but Amir or Seth know
how to reach me quite easily before that in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks!
Christian
