All the callers of posix_acl_valid() currently check for acl being a
null pointer themselves.  Moving the check to posix_acl_valid() certainly
seems like a good idea to me, but you need to delete the check from all
the callers.

Further, it seems like many of the callers might have a PTR_ERR value
for 'acl', so you should also move this check into posix_acl_valid().
