When an NFS client holds a timestamp delegation, utimensat()
with atime set to UTIME_NOW and mtime set to UTIME_OMIT reaches
nfs_setattr() with ATTR_TIMES_SET but without ATTR_ATIME_SET.
There may be other paths that can reach here as well.
The delegated-atime fast path treats this as an implicit atime
update, clears ATTR_ATIME and returns success without updating
ctime.
Add check for ATTR_TIMES_SET along with ATTR_ATIME_SET (OR) so
explicit timestamp requests use the normal SETATTR path while
incidental atime updates can keep using the local shortcut.
Fixes: e12912d94137 ("NFSv4: Add support for delegated atime and mtime attributes")
