Interesting.  The issue there is that ctime/mtime would change
spontaneously when data is flushed to server.  Maybe that's a lesser
of the evils, I don't know...

Right, I think auto_inval_data has always been broken with writeback_cache.

I don't think this can work.   fuse_change_attributes() might be
called from within inlode locked context.  E.g.

lookup_slow -> __lookup_slow -> d_revalidate -> fuse_dentry_revalidate
-> fuse_change_attributes
