nilfs2: do not allocate multiple super block instances for a device

This stops allocating multiple super block instances for a device.

All snapshots and a current mode mount (i.e. latest tree) will be
controlled with nilfs_root objects that are kept within an sb
instance.

nilfs_get_sb() is rewritten so that it always has a root object for
the latest tree and snapshots make additional root objects.

The root dentry of the latest tree is binded to sb->s_root even if it
isn't attached on a directory.  Root dentries of snapshots or the
latest tree are binded to mnt->mnt_root on which they are mounted.

With this patch, nilfs_find_sbinfo() function, nilfs->ns_supers list,
and nilfs->ns_current back pointer, are deleted.  In addition,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() are simplified since they will be called
once for a device, not repeatedly called for mount points.
