[PATCH 3/3] stop using file_update_time

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

xfs_ichtime updates the xfs_inode and Linux inode timestamps just fine,
no need to call file_update_time and then copy the values over to the
XFS inode.  The only additional thing in file_update_time are checks
not applicable to the write path.
