NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()

It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.
