fs: Split fcntl_rw_hint()



Split fcntl_rw_hint() such that there is one helper function per fcntl.
Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to access the i_write_hint member
instead of protecting such accesses with the inode lock. READ_ONCE() is
not used in I/O path code that reads i_write_hint. Users who want
F_SET_RW_HINT to affect I/O need to make sure that F_SET_RW_HINT has
completed before I/O is submitted that should use the configured write
hint.
