[PATCH] proc: update i_atime when reading files

[Jeremy Cline <jcline@redhat.com>]

Prior to commit 1da4d377f943 ("proc: revalidate misc dentries"), the
access, modify, and change times of files in /proc were just the current
time. Now the mtime and ctime values change mostly as a user would
expect, but the atime isn't updated when the file read. This patch
updates the access time of /proc files when they are read.
