nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure

Browse Source 
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:

Before:
  super_block
       -> nilfs_sb_info
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
  super_block
       -> the_nilfs
             -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                         :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)

The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.
