This seems wrong. Why exactly was this change made?
Setting the time to inode->i_atime is *not* the same as not setting
the time. For some filesystems i_atime is just a cached value, that
may or may not match the actual last access time. For those
filesystems this could have very strange effects.

Ditto.

So this is a no-op? In which case this check could be moved to the
top of the function to just return zero.
