docs/vfs: Remove mentions to the old mount API helpers 



Now that mount_bdev(), mount_nodev() and mount_single() have all been
removed, remove mentions to them in vfs.rst.

While we're at it, redirect people looking for mount API docs to
mount_api.rst (which documents the newer API).

super_operations" which describes the next level of the filesystem

implementation.



Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations

and provides a fill_super() callback instead.  The generic variants are:



``mount_bdev``

	mount a filesystem residing on a block device



``mount_nodev``

	mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device



``mount_single``

	mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts



A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:



``struct super_block *sb``

	the superblock structure.  The callback must initialize this

	properly.



``void *data``

	arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see

	"Mount Options" section)



``int silent``

	whether or not to be silent on error



For more information on mounting (and the new mount API), see

Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.rst.
