Change the inode_update_timestamps calling convention, so that instead
of returning the updated flags that are only needed to calculate the
I_DIRTY_* flags, return the I_DIRTY_* flags diretly in an argument, and
reserve the return value to return an error code, which will be needed to
support non-blocking timestamp updates.
