In 5.2.1-RELEASE, setfacl updates the modification time of the file

PR 76818 is open for this issue, but there is no progress logged at present.
This likely occurs because EA writes modify the last modification timestamp.
I can imagine a couple of possible avenues to explore in fixing it, including:
(1) Make system name space EA writes not update the modification time.
(2) Add a flag to allow EA writes to be marked as not updating the
modification time.
It could be POSIX.1e has something to say about time stamp modifications for
setfacl; personally I'd expect it to match the behavior of chmod. And I
believe chmod doesn't update the time stamp.
