The cifs flag CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR, which indicates that the mtime and
ctime need to be written back on close, got taken over by netfs as
NETFS_ICTX_MODIFIED_ATTR to avoid the need to call a function pointer to
set it.

The flag gets set correctly on buffered writes, but doesn't get set by
netfs_page_mkwrite(), leading to occasional failures in generic/080 and
generic/215.

Fix this by setting the flag in netfs_page_mkwrite().
