This looks like a clear improvement. AFAICT, in all cases we pass
lease_get_mtime a value from a previous getattr operation. We should
prefer that one to inode->i_mtime.

The lease_get_mtime prototype is now rather awkward though. It might be
nice to clean that up, eventually, but that can be done later.
