Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing. Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.
This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.
