fs: add support for non-blocking timestamp updates

Currently file_update_time_flags unconditionally returns -EAGAIN if any
timestamp needs to be updated and IOCB_NOWAIT is passed.  This makes
non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
enough timestamps.

Pass IOCB_NOWAIT to ->update_time and return -EAGAIN if it could block.
