Then I don't understand

        /* Check for setting the inode time. */
        if (ia_valid & (ATTR_MTIME_SET | ATTR_ATIME_SET)) {
                if (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid && !capable(CAP_FOWNER))
                        goto error;
        }

in inode_change_ok.  This seems to me exactly like the check needed.
