Thanks for the reviews, but this is inconsistent with my understanding.
I think most file systems in Linux do not support it, because most file 
systems do not register the get/set functions of ACLs for symlink 
operations. And the posix_acl_create() will determine that it is a 
symlink type inode, and then skip the creation process. But except for 
bcachefs, it may be to solve the problem of certain scenarios, so it 
would be nice if anyone could explain it to us.

This problem is indeed a bit tricky.

Yes, thanks, I have fixed it in v2 version.
