Thi isn't ext4-specific and potentially duplicated in every caller.
Please provide this as a common helper.

This can go in neither fs.h nor posix_acl.h nor richacl.h unless we
turn it into a macro, and I don't think we want to add a new header
file for such extreme trivia.

Also while we're at it, the mode argument is ignore and the function
always uses inode->i_mode instead.

Right, thanks.
