Subject: [PATCH 5.10 138/172] ceph: allow ceph.dir.rctime xattr to be updatable

From: Venky Shankar <vshankar@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit d7a2dc523085f8b8c60548ceedc696934aefeb0e ]

`rctime' has been a pain point in cephfs due to its buggy
nature - inconsistent values reported and those sorts.
Fixing rctime is non-trivial needing an overall redesign
of the entire nested statistics infrastructure.

As a workaround, PR

     http://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/37938

allows this extended attribute to be manually set. This allows
users to "fixup" inconsistent rctime values. While this sounds
messy, its probably the wisest approach allowing users/scripts
to workaround buggy rctime values.

The above PR enables Ceph MDS to allow manually setting
rctime extended attribute with the corresponding user-land
changes. We may as well allow the same to be done via kclient
for parity.
