Niklas Hambüchen ce8d8195dc posix: use nanosecond accuracy when available
Programs that set mtime, such as `rsync -a`, don't work correctly on
GlusterFS, because it sets the nanoseconds to 000. This creates
problems for incremental backups, where files get accidentally copied
again and again.

For example, consider `myfile` on an ext4 system, being copied to a
GlusterFS volume, with `rsync -a` and then `cp -u` in turn. You'd
expect that after the first `rsync -a`, `cp -u` agrees that the file
need not be copied.
