If we get no post-op attributes back from a SETATTR operation, then no attributes will of course be updated during the call to nfs_update_inode. We know however that the attributes are invalid at that point, since we just changed some of them. At the very least, the ctime will be bogus. If we get no post-op attributes back on the call, mark the attrcache invalid to reflect that fact.
