[PATCH v6 7/7] btrfs: convert to multigrain timestamps

[Jeff Layton]

Enable multigrain timestamps, which should ensure that there is an
apparent change to the timestamp whenever it has been written after
being actively observed via getattr.

Beyond enabling the FS_MGTIME flag, this patch eliminates
update_time_for_write, which goes to great pains to avoid in-memory
stores. Just have it overwrite the timestamps unconditionally.
