nit: these are int return in the code, but are documented as void
return here. Can you fix that up while you're in here?

As OGAWA Hirofumi points out, patch 4 causes a regression that this
fixes. It'd be good to fix that up to be properly bisectable before
merging.

I was wondering why you're sampling this separately when
inode_set_ctime_current() will return the same thing. I think Jan is
correct though that you need to sample those in reverse order.
