This uses the same timeout as the getattr cache.  This substantially
increases performance when writing files with smaller buffer sizes.

When writing, the size is (often) changed, which causes a call to
notify_change which calls security_inode_need_killpriv which needs a
getxattr.  Caching it reduces traffic to the server.
