vfs: make gcc generate more obvious code for acl permission checking
The "fsuid is the inode owner" case is not necessarily always the likely case, but it's the case that doesn't do anything odd and that we want in straight-line code. Make gcc not generate random "jump around for the fun of it" code. This just helps me read profiles. That thing is one of the hottest parts of the whole pathname lookup.
