[PATCH 1/3] tmpfs: revert SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE

[Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>]

Revert 4fb5ef089b28 ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE").
I believe it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6;
but as the original commit said:

I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
would be of any use to them on tmpfs.  This code adds 92 lines and 752
bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile?

Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs
to the dumb generic support for v3.5.  We can always reinstate it later
if useful, and anyone needing it in a hurry can just get it out of git.

But if someone protests at this reversion, of course we can drop it.
