NFSv4 mandates a change attribute to avoid problems with timestamp granularity, which Linux implements using the i_version counter. This is particularly important when the underlying filesystem is fast. Give tmpfs an i_version counter. Since it doesn't have to be persistent, we can just turn on SB_I_VERSION and sprinkle some inode_inc_iversion calls in the right places. Also, while there is no formal spec for xattrs, most implementations update the ctime on setxattr. Fix shmem_xattr_handler_set to update the ctime and bump the i_version appropriately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
