Maybe your concern is whether the other _time fields should also be
truncated to 2s even though they have the _ms field?  I don't think so; the
s_time_gran already limits in-core timestamp resolution to 10ms, which will
be properly translated when the inode is written to disk.

atime has a different granularity though, so s_time_gran doens't help and we
must manually change it to 2s whenever we call something like current_time(), which
only enforces the 10ms granularity.

So for cases like this:

 	generic_fillattr(inode, stat);
+	exfat_truncate_atime(&stat->atime);

or this:

 	inode->i_mtime = inode->i_atime = inode->i_ctime =
 		EXFAT_I(inode)->i_crtime = current_time(inode);
+	exfat_truncate_atime(&inode->i_atime);

I think it's clearly the right thing to do; anything finer than 2s will be thrown
away when the vfs inode atime is translated to the disk format, so we should never
hold finer granularity in the in-memory vfs inode.

However, in exfat_get_entry_time() maybe all we need to do is set ts->tv_nsec to 0;
that might be clearer.
