[PATCH] Btrfs: don't update atime on RO subvolumes

[PATCH] Btrfs: don't update atime on RO subvolumes

[Alexander Block]

Before the update_time inode operation was indroduced, it was
not possible to prevent updates of atime on RO subvolumes.
btrfs_update_time does now check if the root is RO and skip
updating of atime.

This patch requires the update_time patches from Josef
Bacik.
