   The libc acl_valid(3) function validates the contents of a POSIX.1e ACL.
   This change removes the requirement that an ACL contain no ACL_USER
   entries with a uid the same as those of a file, or ACL_GROUP entries
   with a gid the same as those of a file.  This requirement is not in the
   specification, and not enforced by the kernel's ACL implementation.
