[ Impact ]
Commit 35e8d405b009 "fs: export an inode_update_time helper" (upstream commit
e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b), applied to hirsure:linux via upstream
stable broke the build of aufs. The function 'update_time()' is used by aufs and
was exported before by a SAUCE patch (0d3312035010 "UBUNTU: SAUCE: Import aufs
driver").

[ Fix ]
The proposed fix is to patch aufs to use the new function name. There is no
functional change.

[ Test ]
Build a 5.11 kernel with AUFS enabled.

[ Where problems could occur ]
By keeping the new function name, if any other internal or external module is
using 'update_time()' their build will also fail. This will need to be addressed
case-by-case.
