A problem that I just noticed with the recent change to "du" is that
"du --time=atime" always reports the current time, for all entries.
This is because du reads each directory first, before it stats it,
which means the directory's last-accessed time is always the current
time.

Can you please look into fixing this?  We don't want to slow down the
code in the usual case, but for --time=atime (at least) du should stat
the directory first, before it does any readdirs on it.

Thanks.
