[patch for 2.6.26 3/4] vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for {UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case

Browse Source 
The POSIX.1 draft spec for utimensat() says:

    Only a process with the effective user ID equal to the
    user ID of the file or with appropriate privileges may use
    futimens() or utimensat() with a non-null times argument
    that does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_NOW
    and does not have both tv_nsec fields set to UTIME_OMIT.

If this condition is violated, then the error EPERM should result.
However, the current implementation does not generate EPERM if
one tv_nsec field is UTIME_NOW while the other is UTIME_OMIT.
It should give this error for that case.

This patch:

a) Repairs that problem.
b) Removes the now unneeded nsec_special() helper function.
c) Adds some comments to explain the checks that are being
   performed.

Thanks to Miklos, who provided comments on the previous iteration
of this patch.  As a result, this version is a little simpler and
and its logic is better structured.

Miklos suggested an alternative idea, migrating the
is_owner_or_cap() checks into fs/attr.c:inode_change_ok() via
the use of an ATTR_OWNER_CHECK flag.  Maybe we could do that
later, but for now I've gone with this version, which is
IMO simpler, and can be more easily read as being correct.
