nfsd: support ext4 i_version
ext4 supports a real NFSv4 change attribute, which is bumped whenever
the ctime would be updated, including times when two updates arrive
within a jiffy of each other. (Note that although ext4 has space for
nanosecond-precision ctime, the real resolution is lower: it actually
uses jiffies as the time-source.) This ensures clients will invalidate
their caches when they need to.
There is some fear that keeping the i_version up-to-date could have
performance drawbacks, so for now it's turned on only by a mount option.
We hope to do something better eventually.
