As Deepa said, the primary goal is to unify the interface, so we have only
one place function that handles setting the time in an inode, and we want
to avoid CURRENT_TIME, as that is currently used in a couple of places
for things other than inode timestamps that we don't want to convert to
64-bit times at the same time.

current_fs_time() has a very small overhead compared to CURRENT_TIME,
if you think it's worth avoiding that, we could introduce a
current_pseudo_fs_time() function that does not take a superblock
argument but is more tied to inode timestamps than CURRENT_TIME is.
