fuse: don't need GETATTR after every READ
If 'auto_inval_data' mode is active, then fuse_file_read_iter() will call
fuse_update_attributes(), which will check the attribute validity and send
a GETATTR request if some of the attributes are no longer valid. The page
cache is then invalidated if the size or mtime have changed.
Then, if a READ request was sent and reply received (which is the case if
the data wasn't cached yet, or if the file is opened for O_DIRECT), the
atime attribute is invalidated.
This will result in the next read() also triggering a GETATTR, ...
This can be fixed by only sending GETATTR if the mode or size are invalid,
we don't need to do a refresh if only atime is invalid.
More generally, none of the callers of fuse_update_attributes() need an
up-to-date atime value, so for now just remove STATX_ATIME from the request
mask when attributes are updated for internal use.
