nah, please keep the kref_get_unless_zero here, it's needed.  It's
just the misleding comment I was complaining about :)

Seems like with the current code we don't need to keep the ACL,
so a new helper like:

bool target_tpg_has_node_acl(struct se_portal_group *tpg,
	const char *initiatorname)
{
	struct se_node_acl *acl;

	acl = core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl(tpg, initiatorname);
	if (acl) {
		target_put_nacl(se_acl);
		return true;
	}

	return false;
}

or fully open coded as:

bool target_tpg_has_node_acl(struct se_portal_group *tpg,
		 const char *initiatorname)
{
	struct se_node_acl *acl;
	bool found = false;

	mutex_lock(&tpg->acl_node_mutex);
	list_for_each_entry(acl, &tpg->acl_node_list, acl_list) {
		if (!strcmp(acl->initiatorname, initiatorname)) {
			found = true;
			break;
		}
	}
	mutex_unlock(&tpg->acl_node_mutex);

	return found;
}

might be better to keep the code readable.
