[PATCH 11/11] xfs: enable non-blocking timestamp updates

The lazytime path using the generic helpers can never block in XFS
because there is no ->dirty_inode method that could block. Allow
non-blocking timestamp updates for this case by replacing
generic_update_time with the open coded version without the S_NOWAIT
check.
Fixes: 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification handling.")
