fs: remove no_llseek

Now that all callers of ->llseek are going through vfs_llseek(), we
don't gain anything by keeping no_llseek around. Nothing actually calls
it and setting ->llseek to no_lseek is completely equivalent to
leaving it NULL.

Longer term (== by the end of merge window) we want to remove all such
intializations.  To simplify the merge window this commit does *not*
touch initializers - it only defines no_llseek as NULL (and simplifies
the tests on file opening).

At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
