tmpfs: revert SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE
Revert 4fb5ef08 ("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.
