The fast path here misses any memory barrier. Thus it seems this query
could be in theory reordered before any store that happened to modify the
inode? Or maybe we could race and miss the fact that in fact this i_version
has already been queried? But maybe there's some higher level locking that
makes sure this is all a non-issue... But in that case it would deserve
some comment I guess.

Why not just use atomic64_or() here?
