The FILE_INHERIT_ACE check there is redundant since we already know
dir_ace is inheritable.

(So, OK, it isn't wrong to check it again but let's not make this
condition any more complicated than necessary.)

Why is it correct to ignore entirely the inherited acl in this case?

Oh, I see, I'm forgetting that richacl_equiv_mode is setting the mask,
which will get applied at the end of this function.  In my defense,
maybe it's easy to overlook a side effect in an if condition.... But I
don't have a better idea.  OK.

So, nits aside:
