selftests/fuse: add ACL_DONT_CACHE regression test

Add a test that reproduces the stale ACL bug fixed by:
  "fs: preserve ACL_DONT_CACHE state in forget_cached_acl()"

A FUSE mount that does not negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL initialises inodes
with i_acl = ACL_DONT_CACHE.  Before the fix, calling
forget_all_cached_acls() (e.g. from fuse_update_get_attr() on a
statx(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC)) would silently replace ACL_DONT_CACHE with
ACL_NOT_CACHED, enabling the kernel ACL cache.  A subsequent getxattr
would populate the cache, and because fuse_set_acl() skips
forget_all_cached_acls() for !fc->posix_acl, later ACL changes were
not visible to callers — getxattr returned stale data.

The test mounts a minimal libfuse3 lowlevel filesystem (no
FUSE_POSIX_ACL negotiated) and:
  1. Issues two getxattrs — both must reach the daemon, proving
     ACL_DONT_CACHE suppresses caching before any trigger.
  2. Calls statx(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC) to trigger forget_all_cached_acls().
  3. Issues another getxattr (populates the cache on a buggy kernel).
  4. Switches the daemon to a different-sized ACL (ACL_B).
  5. Issues a final getxattr — expects ACL_B (44 bytes) and daemon
     call count 4; a buggy kernel returns stale ACL_A (28 bytes).

fuse_acl_cache_test is only built when libfuse3 is detected via
pkg-config.

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Changed do_force_statx() to call the statx() libc wrapper instead of
syscall(SYS_statx, ...) as requested by Amir after review feedback from
Luis Henriques, and dropped the now unused <sys/syscall.h> include.

/*
* Test: FUSE ACL caching bug triggered by AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC
*
* A FUSE mount that does not negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL initialises every inode
* with i_acl = i_default_acl = ACL_DONT_CACHE. When a fresh stat is needed
* (e.g. AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC), fuse_update_get_attr() calls
* forget_all_cached_acls() before issuing FUSE_GETATTR. On an unfixed kernel,
* __forget_cached_acl() replaces ACL_DONT_CACHE with ACL_NOT_CACHED,
* inadvertently enabling the kernel ACL cache for that inode. The next
* getxattr populates the cache. Because fuse_set_acl() skips
* forget_all_cached_acls() for !fc->posix_acl mounts, any subsequent change to
* the ACL leaves the stale kernel entry in place, and the next getxattr returns
* wrong data without ever reaching the FUSE daemon.
*
* Fix (fs/posix_acl.c): __forget_cached_acl() returns early when *p is
* ACL_DONT_CACHE, preserving the "never cache" invariant for the inode's
* lifetime.
*
* Test outline:
* 1. Mount a minimal FUSE fs (no FUSE_POSIX_ACL negotiated).
* 2. lgetxattr -> daemon called, ACL_A returned, NOT cached (ACL_DONT_CACHE).
* 3. statx(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC) -> forget_all_cached_acls() called.
* Buggy: ACL_DONT_CACHE -> ACL_NOT_CACHED (cache enabled).
* Fixed: ACL_DONT_CACHE preserved.
* 4. lgetxattr -> daemon called, ACL_A returned.
* Buggy: result now cached (ACL_NOT_CACHED -> cached).
* Fixed: result still not cached.
* 5. Daemon switches to ACL_B internally (different size).
* 6. lgetxattr -> should return ACL_B (44 bytes).
* Buggy: cache hit, returns stale ACL_A (28 bytes). FAIL.
* Fixed: no cache, daemon called, returns ACL_B (44 bytes). PASS.
