Title: pool: Make access time update non-blocking

Addresses a performance issue when reading files from a pool.

Patch http://rb.dcache.org/r/4568/ modified the pool to let access
time be updated whenever a file is read. The update is however blocking,
which means that the notification thread in the pool is blocked until
a reply from PnfsManager is received. Given that we do not use the
reply for anything, we can just as well turn the access time update
into a non-blocking notification.
