Ocfs2 devel - Oct 2018 - [PATCH 10/25] vfs: create generic_remap_file_range_touch to update inode metadata

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong at oracle.com>

Create a new VFS helper to handle inode metadata updates when remapping
into a file.  If the operation can possibly alter the file contents, we
must update the ctime and mtime and remove security privileges, just
like we do for regular file writes.  Wire up ocfs2 to ensure consistent
behavior.

The name seems a little out of touch with what it actually does.
Also why a bool argument instead of the more descriptive flags which
introduced a few patches ago?
