[PATCH] kill ->put_inode
And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.
(It's kinda funny that even the description in
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt was entirely wrong..)
Also remove a very misleading comment above the defintion of
struct super_operations.
