This is somewhat changing the current behavior: before the patch, the mtime and
ctime of old_dir, new_dir and the inodes associated with the dentries are always
equal. But given that simple_rename_timestamp() calls inode_set_ctime_current()
4 times, the times could potentially be different.

I am not sure if that is an issue, but it seems that calling
inode_set_ctime_current() once, recording the "now" time it sets and using that
value to set all times may be more efficient and preserve the existing behavior.
