Subject: [PATCH 31/35] ocfs2/xattr: Always updating ctime during xattr set.

From: Tao Ma <tao.ma@...cle.com>

In xattr set, we should always update ctime if the operation goes
sucessfully. The old one mistakenly put it in ocfs2_xattr_set_entry
which is only called when we set xattr in inode or xattr block. The
side benefit is that it resolve the bug 1052 since in that scenario,
ocfs2_calc_xattr_set_need only calc out the xattr set credits while
ocfs2_xattr_set_entry update the inode also which isn't concerned with
the process of xattr set.
