What I find a bit concerning here is that mark_inode_dirty_time() takes a
different kind of flags than __mark_inode_dirty() so it's relatively easy
to confuse. Proper typing of 'flags' would be nice here but it's a bit
cumbersome to do in C so I'm not sure if it's worth it for this relatively
limited use. So I guess feel free to add:
