The +1 accounting for the ACL/context indicator was applied once per item inside the padding loop, so N files with ACLs inflated the link-count column width by N. Apply it a single time after the loop.

Fixes #10980

GNU testsuite comparison:

GNU test failed: tests/misc/io-errors. tests/misc/io-errors is passing on 'main'. Maybe you have to rebase?
Skip an intermittent issue tests/cut/bounded-memory (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skip an intermittent issue tests/date/resolution (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skip an intermittent issue tests/tty/tty-eof (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/date/date-locale-hour (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
Note: The gnu test tests/expand/bounded-memory is now being skipped but was previously passing.
Congrats! The gnu test tests/dd/no-allocate is now passing!
Congrats! The gnu test tests/printf/printf-surprise is now passing!

While this works, it feels like a hack because link_count is unrelated to ACL. Maybe it makes sense to add an additional property to PaddingCollection?

The `+1` accounting for the ACL/context indicator was applied once per
item inside the padding loop, so N files with ACLs inflated the
link-count column width by N. Apply it a single time after the loop.
