acl: add vfs_get_acl()
In previous patches we implemented get and set inode operations for all non-stacking filesystems that support posix acls but didn't yet implement get and/or set acl inode operations. This specifically affected cifs and 9p. Now we can build a posix acl api based solely on get and set inode operations. We add a new vfs_get_acl() api that can be used to get posix acls. This finally removes all type unsafety and type conversion issues explained in detail in [1] that we aim to get rid of. After we finished building the vfs api we can switch stacking filesystems to rely on the new posix api and then finally switch the xattr system calls themselves to rely on the posix acl api.
