Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Updating ctime and mtime at syncing

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2645

Changes for updating the ctime and mtime fields for memory-mapped files:

1) new flag triggering update of the inode data;
2) new field in the address_space structure for saving modification time;
3) new function to update ctime and mtime for block device files;
4) new helper function to update ctime and mtime when needed;
5) updating time stamps for mapped files in sys_msync() and do_fsync();
6) implementing the feature of auto-updating ctime and mtime;
7) account for the case of retouching an already-dirtied page.
