I don't know the Linux kernel that well, but if it sounds good to you....

I worried that gl_FILE_HAS_ACL might be invoked either before, or after, 
gl_FUNC_ACL.  Your message is confusing, because the first part of it 
implies the former, and the middle part implies the latter.  If we know 
one of the two alternatives is impossible, then yes we can simplify the 
code accordingly.
