NFS: Don't let the ctime override attribute barriers.
Chuck reports seeing cases where a GETATTR that happens to race with an asynchronous WRITE is overriding the file size, despite the attribute barrier being set by the writeback code. The culprit turns out to be the check in nfs_ctime_need_update(), which sees that the ctime is newer than the cached ctime, and assumes that it is safe to override the attribute barrier. This patch removes that override, and ensures that attribute barriers are always respected.
