No, acldefault doesn't consider 'm' to be valid input, because
materialized views are not a distinct kind of object for ACL purposes;
they're just relations (tables), and have relation-y privileges.

In fact, none of the object type codes accepted by acldefault_sql
are relkind values, except for the accidental overlap of 'r' with
the relkind for plain tables.
