#5405: Too many notifications after attribute change

With node monitoring enabled, changing an attribute triggers a
B_STAT_CHANGED notification after B_ATTR_CHANGED.
The B_STAT_CHANGED notification message contains in field "fields"
B_STAT_SIZE and B_STATE_MODIFICATION_TIME). AFAICT the file size did not
change; maybe the modification time has changed; I cannot tell as Tracker
does not display it.
This is an incompatibility to BeOS R5.
I had used B_STAT_CHANGED in an application as an easy indication that the
contents of a file had changed. The application then tries to reload the
file. However that application also updates some attributes after loading
the file, which triggers now a B_STAT_CHANGED notification, which triggers
a reload of the file, and so on...
