[PATCH] fs: grab current_time() in setattr_copy_mgtime() when ATTR_CTIME is unset

[Jeff Layton]

With support of delegated timestamps, nfsd can issue a setattr that sets
the atime, but not the ctime. Ensure that when the ctime isn't set that
"now" is set to the current coarse-grained time.

A fix for bug that Jan reported. Christian, it may be best to fold this
