Chunwei Chen 1ad7f89628 Enable lazytime semantic for atime
Linux 4.0 introduces lazytime. The idea is that when we update the atime, we
delay writing it to disk for as long as it is reasonably possible.

When lazytime is enabled, dirty_inode will be called with only I_DIRTY_TIME
flag whenever i_atime is updated. So under such condition, we will set
z_atime_dirty. We will only write it to disk if file is closed, inode is
evicted or setattr is called. Ideally, we should also write it whenever SA
is going to be updated, but it is left for future improvement.

There's one thing that we should take care of now that we allow i_atime to be
dirty. In original implementation, whenever SA is modified, zfs_inode_update
will be called to overwrite every thing in inode. This will cause dirty
i_atime to be discarded. We fix this by don't overwrite i_atime in
zfs_inode_update. We only overwrite i_atime when allocating new inode or doing
zfs_rezget with zfs_inode_update_new.

Native ZFS for Linux!

ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.

ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.

Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
