Hum, you loose atime update with this. Not that it would make sense to have
it but it would probably deserve a comment in the changelog.

Also why you use current_time(new_dir) here instead of say inode->i_ctime?

Also there is:

new_inode->i_ctime = EXFAT_I(new_inode)->i_crtime =
current_time(new_inode);

in exfat_rename() from which you can remove the ctime update?
