When updating the ctime on an inode for a setattr with a multigrain filesystem, we usually want to take the latest time we can get for the ctime. The exception to this rule is when there is a nfsd write delegation and the server is proxying timestamps from the client. When nfsd gets a CB_GETATTR response, we want to update the timestamp value in the inode to the values that the client is tracking. The client doesn't send a ctime value (since that's always determined by the exported filesystem), but it does send a mtime value. In the case where it does, then we may also need to update the ctime to a value commensurate with that. Add a ATTR_CTIME_DELEG flag, which tells the underlying setattr machinery to respect that value and not to set it to the current time.
