knfsd needs i_version updates on, as will userspace nfs servers and
probably others.
The only effects are that inode->i_version is bumped (under the i_lock)
in more places, and that ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_DATASYNC) may be called
more frequently than once per jiffy on write (see file_update_time).
However the latter appears to be mostly a no-op in that case.
So, simplify our life and just keep this feature turned on all the time.

If people are worried that the performance impact isn't obvious, I'll
find the time somehow to test this properly....
