vfs: micro-optimize acl_permission_check()
It's a hot function, and we're better off not mixing types in the mask
calculations. The compiler just ends up mixing 16-bit and 32-bit
operations, for no good reason.
So do everything in 'unsigned int' rather than mixing 'unsigned int'
masking with a 'umode_t' (16-bit) mode variable.
This, together with the parent commit (47a150edc2ae: "Cache user_ns in
struct cred") makes acl_permission_check() much nicer.
