That is copied from the corresponding code for computing the mode string
in print_long_format.  In turn, FILE_HAS_ACL is based on the f->have_acl
flag.  But f->have_acl is only assigned a value if format == long_format
in gobble_file().  Hence, the flag is not getting initialized properly
for the security_format.  Patch below should fix.
