Thi isn't ext4-specific and potentially duplicated in every caller.
Please provide this as a common helper.

Also while we're at it, the mode argument is ignore and the function
always uses inode->i_mode instead.

Shouldn't richacl_from_xattr return the error pointer that ->get_richacl
callers expect?

Should this check for a NULL acl instead of special casing that
in ext4_set_richacl?

        if (IS_ERR(acl))
                return PTR_ERR(acl);

Shouldn't richacl_create return NULL if the ACL is equivalent to the
mode bits instead of letting every filesystem figure that out on it's
own?
