Well, the problem is that I chose quite a bad name for this field.
Actually, i_dir_acl contains a pointer to the default ACL that can be set
on a directory and is inherited by files and subdirectories. A file can
have i_file_acl set (if it has an explicit ACL) or i_dir_acl set (if it
has inherited the default ACL from its parent directory).
I should probably rename the two fields in my next patch:
i_file_acl -> i_acl and i_dir_acl -> i_default_acl.
