tests: avoid test framework failure if the file system lacks ACL support
Prompted by a test framework failure of tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh on armv7l,
I pushed the following patch upstream which will go into 8.23 some day.

tests: improve test for a working setfacl
Prompted by a test framework failure of tests/mkdir/p-acl.sh on armv7l:
The previous test for a working setfacl was not sufficient in some
circumstances.
* init.cfg (require_setfacl_): Call setfacl twice with conflictive
ACL specs, and use ACL specs which can't be mapped into regular file
permission bits. Document the reasons.

+# Skip the current test if setfacl doesn't work on the current file system,
+# which could happen if not installed, or if ACLs are not supported by the
+# kernel or the file system, or are turned off via mount options.
+#
+# Work around the following two issues:
+#
+# 1) setfacl maps ACLs into file permission bits if on "noacl" file systems.
+#
+# On file systems which do not support ACLs (e.g. ext4 mounted with -o noacl),
+# setfacl operates on the regular file permission bits, and only fails if the
+# given ACL spec does not fit into there. Thus, to test if ACLs really work
+# on the current file system, pass an ACL spec which can't be mapped that way.
+# "Default" ACLs (-d) seem to fulfill this requirement.
+#
+# 2) setfacl only invokes the underlying system call if the ACL would change.
+#
+# If the given ACL spec would not change the ACLs on the file, then setfacl
+# does not invoke the underlying system call - setxattr(). Therefore, to test
+# if setting ACLs really works on the current file system, call setfacl twice
+# with conflictive ACL specs.
