docs/vfs: Remove mentions to the old mount API helpers

Now that mount_bdev(), mount_nodev() and mount_single() have all been
removed, remove mentions to them in vfs.rst.

While we're at it, redirect people looking for mount API docs to
mount_api.rst (which documents the newer API).

super_operations" which describes the next level of the filesystem
implementation.
Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
``mount_bdev``
mount a filesystem residing on a block device
``mount_nodev``
mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
``mount_single``
mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts
A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
``struct super_block *sb``
the superblock structure. The callback must initialize this
properly.
``void *data``
arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
"Mount Options" section)
``int silent``
whether or not to be silent on error
For more information on mounting (and the new mount API), see
Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.rst.
