   ### Apache Airflow version
   
   2.1.3
   
   ### Operating System
   
   Redhat 6.10
   
   ### Versions of Apache Airflow Providers
   
   _No response_
   
   ### Deployment
   
   Virtualenv installation
   
   ### Deployment details
   
   _No response_
   
   ### What happened
   
   When deploying an updated version of a DAG, I noticed that there was higher 
CPU usage, and a new process was starting every few seconds:
   ```
   airflow  31449 76.0  0.1 935636 79236 ?        Rl   17:04   0:00  airflow 
scheduler - DagFileProcessor /path/to/the/dag_file.py
   ```
   
   Note: there are many DAGs in this directory, only this file was being 
continually scanned by the DagFileProcessor.
   The other files would be scanned every 5 minutes or so, which agrees with 
the airflow configuration.
   
   Eventually I guessed that it might be related to a difference between the 
UTC time and the local system time (Central Europe, e.g. Berlin).
   
   Running 
   ```
   touch -d "1 day ago" /path/to/the/dag_file.py 
   ```
   stopped the continuous scanning of the file.
   
   But after running
   ```
   touch /path/to/the/dag_file.py 
   ```
   the continuous scanning started again.
   
   ### What you expected to happen
   
   When a new or updated file appears, I'd expect Airflow to notice, "hey, 
there's a new or updated file, I'll scan it".   But not scan it again and again.
   
   ### How to reproduce
   
   Run Airflow on a system with non-UTC time, specifically 'Europe/Berlin'.
   
   Deploy a new or updated DAG.
   
   Notice that there's a DagFileProcessor process running very often (every 
second or so there's a new process).
   
   
   ### Anything else
   
   _No response_
