XFS should not be looking at filp reference counts

A check for file_count is always a bad idea.  Linux has the ->release
method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the
very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of
a reference to a file struct.

This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of
simply doing the page flushing from ->release.

        - Move the functionality in xfs_close to xfs_release and
          remove xfs_close.

fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_file.c - 1.149 - changed

        - Kill xfs_file_flush as xfs_file_release provides us with
          the required last-close callout.

        - Remove the last close vop call as it is no longer needed.
