No, it was correct. The testsuite I added would've yelled loudly if that
were buggy.

It's just that this was done in vfs_getxattr() before. But that is
rather hacky and is one of the things we're getting rid off. If
vfs_get_acl() did that it would return mount not filesystem values which
isn't correct for the general case.
