fs: retire sget()
sget() and sget_fc() have lived side by side as near-duplicate find-or-create-and-publish helpers for the legacy and fs_context mount APIs. The three remaining in-tree callers (CIFS plus the ext4 extents and mballoc KUnit tests) have all been moved to sget_fc(). Nothing calls sget() anymore. Delete sget() from fs/super.c and the prototype in <linux/fs.h>. Update the two comments that referred to "sget()" or "sget{_fc}()" to just say "sget_fc()". This removes ~60 lines of code that only existed to be kept in lockstep with sget_fc() on every superblock publish-path change.
