Subject: [PATCH v2 06/11] fs: have setattr_copy handle multigrain
 timestamps appropriately

The setattr codepath is still using coarse-grained timestamps, even on
multigrain filesystems. To fix this, we need to fetch the timestamp for
ctime updates later, at the point where the assignment occurs in
setattr_copy.

On a multigrain inode, ignore the ia_ctime in the attrs, and always
update the ctime to the current clock value. Update the atime and mtime
with the same value (if needed) unless they are being set to other
specific values, a'la utimes().

Note that we don't want to do this universally however, as some
filesystems (e.g. most networked fs) want to do an explicit update
elsewhere before updating the local inode.
