PROBLEM: bug in fs/nfsd/vfs.c

[Paul Raines]

I tracked down a bug with NFS mishandling group permissions to
the following typo in linux/fs/nfsd/vfs.c where ctime was used
where atime was supposed to be used.  This is still present in
the 2.4.9 release.

  #define	MAX_TOUCH_TIME_ERROR (30*60)
  	if (err
  	    && (iap->ia_valid & BOTH_TIME_SET) == BOTH_TIME_SET
! 	    && iap->ia_mtime == iap->ia_ctime
  	    ) {
  	    /* looks good.  now just make sure time is in the right ballpark.
  	     * solaris, at least, doesn't seem to care what the time request is
