Currently, we copy the mtime and ctime to the in-core inode and then
mark the inode dirty. This is fine for certain types of filesystems, but
not all. Some require a real setattr to properly change these values
(e.g. ceph or reexported NFS).

Fix this code to call notify_change() instead, which is the proper way
to effect a setattr. There is one problem though:

In this case, the client is holding a write delegation and has sent us
attributes to update our cache. We don't want to break the delegation
for this since that would defeat the purpose.
I think this won't happen with NFS since nfsd_breaker_owns_lease detects
its own lease and won't break the delegation.

I don't think that works here. In this case, we've gotten a GETATTR
request from a different client than the lease holder. So the breaker
in this case does _not_ own the lease.

Oh yes, the lease breaker in nfsd_breaker_owns_lease is the client
that sends the GETATTR so it is not the same as the lease's owner.

Thanks,

  Add a new ATTR_DELEG flag
that makes notify_change bypass the try_break_deleg call.

One more CB_GETATTR fix. This one involves a little change at the VFS
layer to avoid breaking the delegation.

Christian, unless you have objections, this should probably go in
via Chuck's tree as this patch depends on a nfsd patch [1] that I sent
yesterday. An A-b or R-b would be welcome though.
