[PATCH][RFC] inode time update funnies in ncpfs

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

ncfpfs seems to update inode times by hand everywhere instead of using
the proper helpers.  This means:

 - the atime updates in mmap() and read() seems to miss various checks
   upodate_atime or one of the wrappers does.  Also it doesn't mark the
   inode dirty.
 - in write() you update mtime and _a_time instead of ctime as expected,
   also the usual checks and optimizations are missing.

In addition the fops contain some bogus checks like for a refular file
(but the fops are only used of ISREG files) and inode->i_sb although
that is guranteed to be non-zero.
