From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@xxxxxxxxxx>
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).
