    vfs: Avoid a comparison with an uninitialized field in setutimes()
    
    Some filesystems, e.g., devfs, do not populate va_birthtime in their
    GETATTR implementations.  To handle this, make sure that va_birthtime is
    initialized to the quasi-standard value of { VNOVAL, 0 } before calling
    VOP_GETATTR.
