[PATCH v2 01/24] vfs: Add current_time() api

[Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com>]

current_fs_time() is used for inode timestamps.

Change the signature of the function to take inode pointer
instead of superblock as per Linus's suggestion.

Also, move the api under vfs as per the discussion on the
thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/9/36 . As per Arnd's
suggestion on the thread, changing the function name.

current_fs_time() will be deleted after all the references
to it are replaced by current_time().

Note that timespec_trunc() will also be moved to fs/inode.c
in a separate patch when this will need to be revamped for
bounds checking purposes.
