Subject: afs: Populate and use client modification time

From: Marc Dionne <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ab94f5d0dd6fd82e7eeca5e7c8096eaea0a0261f ]

The inode timestamps should be set from the client time in the status received from the server, rather than the server time which is meant for internal server use.

Set AFS_SET_MTIME and populate the mtime for operations that take an input status, such as file/dir creation and StoreData. If an input time is not provided the server will set the vnode times based on the current server time.

In a situation where the server has some skew with the client, this could lead to the client seeing a timestamp in the future for a file that it just created or wrote.
