xfs: fix timestamp handling in xfs_setattr
We currently have some rather odd code in xfs_setattr for
updating the a/c/mtime timestamps:
- first we do a non-transaction update if all three are updated
together
- second we implicitly update the ctime for various changes
instead of relying on the ATTR_CTIME flag
- third we set the timestamps to the current time instead of the
arguments in the iattr structure in many cases.
This patch makes sure we update it in a consistent way:
- always transactional
- ctime is only updated if ATTR_CTIME is set or we do a size
update, which is a special case
- always to the times passed in from the caller instead of the
current time
The only non-size caller of xfs_setattr that doesn't come from
the VFS is updated to set ATTR_CTIME and pass in a valid ctime
value.
