[PATCH] flush inode when changing atime.

[Utako Kusaka <u-kusaka@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The atime is changed for reading but it returns to a previous value
after unmount. i_update_core is still off after reading a file using
read(), readdir() and readlink(). So an inode isn't flushed to disk.

I referred to following fix when I made a patch:
TAKE 946679 - fix, speedup and simplify atime handling
http://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=113398234310217&w=4

Example:
# ls -lu mpnt/log3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 63494 2007-04-05 16:35 mpnt/log3
# less mpnt/log3
# ls -lu mpnt/log3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 63494 2007-10-05 15:27 mpnt/log3
# umount mpnt/
# mount -t xfs /dev/sda6 mpnt
# ls -lu mpnt/log3
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 63494 2007-04-05 16:35 mpnt/log3
