CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_fs_time() instead.

Why would we care? This is a pseudo-fs. There is no expectation w.r.t.
timestamp accuracy or resolution.

CURRENT_TIME is not y2038 safe.
We are switching all vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time.
And, deleting all references to CURRENT_TIME.
So CURRENT_TIME users will be replaced by either ktime_get_* apis
or current_fs_time_* apis.

There is going to be another series (based on
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/12/76)
which switches vfs time to 64 bit.

This means [a,c,m] times in struct inode, struct attr and struct kstat
will be changed to use timespec64.

Even though this is a psuedo-fs, we choose to use filesystem apis
rather than ktime_get_* apis as current_fs_time_* apis will switch time
data types together with vfs.

As Deepa said, the primary goal is to unify the interface, so we have only
one place function that handles setting the time in an inode, and we want
to avoid CURRENT_TIME, as that is currently used in a couple of places
for things other than inode timestamps that we don't want to convert to
64-bit times at the same time.

current_fs_time() has a very small overhead compared to CURRENT_TIME,
if you think it's worth avoiding that, we could introduce a
current_pseudo_fs_time() function that does not take a superblock
argument but is more tied to inode timestamps than CURRENT_TIME is.
