A side not about this optimization.  It only affects inode updates for
mtime/ctime/atime, critical things like updating i_size or the block
count or other stat data operations are still logged every time, and
always logged in the same transaction as the critical metadata update.

In other words, this patch restores reiserfs to its 2.2.x inode update
scheme.
