And I've just stumbled over:

commit 8cc1e10d725c9104c0fc2a31527be8b1d9baa252
Author: Artem Savkov <asavkov@redhat.com>

    utimensat: fix immutable file retcodes for 4.8.0 and newer.

    Kernel 4.8.0 contains patch "337684a fs: return EPERM on immutable inode" that
    makes operations on immutable files return EPERM instead of EACCESS.

    Adjust utimensat test to check new retcode for kernels 4.8.0 and newer.

Looking closely at the manual page it explicitly says that immutable file with
NULL times must return EACCESS. So as far as I can tell this either hides a
kernel bug or the manual page is wrong. We may want to revert this for the
release, what do you think?
