fs: fix missed removal of super_fs_objects_eligible()

Commit 0ef8faff490be ("fs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into
individual filesystems") was meant to drop the blanket memcg gate in
fs/super.c and let each ->nr_cached_objects() implementation decide for
itself whether it is meaningful in per-memcg reclaim.  However, when
that patch was applied the removal of super_fs_objects_eligible() and
its two call sites in super_cache_scan() / super_cache_count() was
lost, so the helper is still gating every ->nr_cached_objects() hook
and 0ef8faff490be is effectively a no-op.

Consequences of the leftover gate:

   - XFS's inode-reclaim hook, which is intentionally driven from
     per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab, is still
     short-circuited in fs/super.c  exactly the regression from
     commit 0baad6f9b997 ("fs/super: skip non-memcg-aware
     nr_cached_objects in memcg slab shrink") that 0ef8faff490be was
     written to undo. Memcg-charged XFS inode slab therefore keeps
     piling up under per-memcg pressure until global reclaim kicks in.

   - Any future ->nr_cached_objects()/->free_cached_objects() that
     grows memcg awareness is likewise blocked before it can run, so
     filesystems cannot opt in to per-memcg reclaim on their own 
     defeating the whole point of pushing the gating decision down
     into the callbacks.

Drop the leftover helper and its call sites so the intent of
0ef8faff490be actually takes effect.
