exofs: super_operations and file_system_type

This patch ties all operation vectors into a file system superblock
and registers the exofs file_system_type at module's load time.

* The file system control block (AKA on-disk superblock) resides in
  an object with a special ID (defined in common.h).
  Information included in the file system control block is used to
  fill the in-memory superblock structure at mount time. This object
  is created before the file system is used by mkexofs.c It contains
  information such as:
	- The file system's magic number
	- The next inode number to be allocated
