nfsd4: factor ctime into change attribute
Factoring ctime into the nfsv4 change attribute gives us better properties than just i_version alone. Eventually we'll likely also expose this (as opposed to raw i_version) to userspace, at which point we'll want to move it to a common helper, called from either userspace or individual filesystems. For now, nfsd is the only user. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
