[PATCH 08/16] fs: allow error returns from generic_update_time

[Christoph Hellwig]

Now that no caller looks at the updated flags, switch generic_update_time
to the same calling convention as the ->update_time method and return 0
or a negative errno.

This prepares for adding non-blocking timestamp updates that could return
-EAGAIN.
