xfs: implement ->dirty_inode to fix timestamp handling

This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a
.dirty_inode method.  We really need this notification because
the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead
of going through methods to update this state.  In addition to
the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code
that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps.  And
I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO
code.

So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the
inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to
the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up
the value from the Linux inode).

Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call
in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time
when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the
normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int).

In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux
timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available
we can always use the timestamps in it.

Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes -
that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make
sure we notice early when it breaks.
