This fixes a bug where the permission was not properly checked in
overlayfs. The testcase is ltp/utimensat01.
It is also cleaner and safer to do the permission checking in the vfs
helper instead of the caller.
This patch introduces an additional ia_valid flag ATTR_TOUCH (since
touch(1) is the most obvious user of utimes(NULL)) that is passed into
notify_change whenever the conditions for this special permission checking
mode are met.
