[RFC PATCH 04/35] ovl: copy up times

[Miklos Szeredi]

Copy up mtime and ctime to overlay inode after times in real object are
modified.  Be careful not to dirty cachelines when not necessary.

This is in preparation for moving overlay functionality out of the VFS.

This patch shouldn't have any observable effect.
