[PATCH v2 3/8] fs/acl: Add ACL_OTHER permissions test

Add acl_other01 test to validate that ACL_OTHER permissions are
not affected by ACL_MASK.

The test verifies that:
- ACL_OTHER entry with rwx permissions allows access
- ACL_MASK set to --- does not restrict ACL_OTHER
- Users not matching owner, named users, or groups use ACL_OTHER

This confirms that ACL_MASK only affects ACL_USER, ACL_GROUP_OBJ,
and ACL_GROUP entries, but not ACL_OTHER.
