vfs: optimize touch_time() too
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime.  Getting the lock in
mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first.

This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock
region.

This didn't show up in benchmarks, but it's easy enough to do.
