Subject: [PATCH] fs: use inode_set_ctime_to_ts to set inode ctime to current time

The function inode_set_ctime_current simply retrieves the current time
and assigns it to the field __i_ctime without any alterations. Therefore,
it is possible to set ctime to now directly using inode_set_ctime_to_ts
