page_mkwrite() callbacks are IMHO the right place for this check (and
change).  Just next to file_update_time() call. You get proper filesystem
freezing protection etc. As Ted properly mentions filemap_page_mkwrite() is
one place you want to hook into but quite a few filesystems (most notably
ext4, xfs, btrfs) overload ->page_mkwrite() callbacks to their own
functions so each filesystem that does this needs to be updated
separately...
