fs: remove fs.f_write_hint

The value is now completely unused except for reporting it back through
the F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT ioctl, so remove the value and the two ioctls
for it.

Trying to use the F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT and F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT fcntls will
now return EINVAL, just like it would on a kernel that never supported
this functionality in the first place.
