ext4: Don't update ctime for non-extent-mapped inodes
The VFS handles updating ctime, so we don't need to update the inode's
ctime in ext4_splace_branch() to update the direct or indirect blocks.
This was harmless when we did this in ext3, but in ext4, thanks to
delayed allocation, updating the ctime in ext4_splice_branch() can
cause the ctime to mysteriously jump when the blocks are finally
allocated.
Thanks to Björn Steinbrink for pointing out this problem on the git
mailing list.
