[PATCH] rpdfs: Set the inode creation time

[PATCH] rpdfs: Set the inode creation time

[Valerie Aurora]

Setting inode creation time is slightly trickier than a/m/ctime
because it's not tracked in the VFS inode. Add a field in the rpdfs
private inode info to track it.

Applied, thanks!

This makes the rework of getattr for the new transaction scheme that
much nicer, too.  Cool.
