[PATCH] xfs: reinstate the old i_version counter as STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE

The handling of STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE was moved into generic_fillattr in
commit 0d72b92883c6 (fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr), but
we didn't account for the fact that xfs doesn't call generic_fillattr at
all.

Make XFS report its i_version as the STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE.

I had hoped to fix this in a better way with the multigrain patches, but
it's taking longer than expected (if it even pans out at this point).

Until then, make sure we use XFS's i_version as the STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE,
even if it's bumped due to atime updates. Too many invalidations is
preferable to not enough.
