tmpfs: add support for an i_version counter
NFSv4 mandates a change attribute to avoid problems with timestamp granularity, which Linux implements using the i_version counter. This is particularly important when the underlying filesystem is fast. Give tmpfs an i_version counter. Since it doesn't have to be persistent, we can just turn on SB_I_VERSION and sprinkle some inode_inc_iversion calls in the right places. Also, while there is no formal spec for xattrs, most implementations update the ctime on setxattr. Fix shmem_xattr_handler_set to update the ctime and bump the i_version appropriately.
