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.
