xfs: fix timestamp handling in xfs_setattr

We currently have some rather odd code in xfs_setattr for
updating the a/c/mtime timestamps:

 - first we do a non-transaction update if all three are updated
   together
 - second we implicitly update the ctime for various changes
   instead of relying on the ATTR_CTIME flag
 - third we set the timestamps to the current time instead of the
   arguments in the iattr structure in many cases.

This patch makes sure we update it in a consistent way:

 - always transactional
 - ctime is only updated if ATTR_CTIME is set or we do a size
   update, which is a special case
 - always to the times passed in from the caller instead of the
   current time

The only non-size caller of xfs_setattr that doesn't come from
the VFS is updated to set ATTR_CTIME and pass in a valid ctime
value.
