fs: Simplify getattr interface function checking AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag

Commit 8a924db2d7b5 ("fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface
function")' introduced the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to ensure that the
call paths only call vfs_getattr_nosec if it is set instead of vfs_getattr.
Now, simplify the getattr interface functions of filesystems where the flag
AT_GETATTR_NOSEC is checked.

There is only a single caller of inode_operations getattr function and it
is located in fs/stat.c in vfs_getattr_nosec. The caller there is the only
one from which the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag is passed from.

Two filesystems are checking this flag in .getattr and the flag is always
passed to them unconditionally from only vfs_getattr_nosec:

- ecryptfs:  Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
             ecryptfs_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
             function and this function is not called otherwise.

- overlayfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
             ovl_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
             function and this function is not called otherwise.

The query_flags in vfs_getattr_nosec will mask-out AT_GETATTR_NOSEC from
any caller using AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE as mask so that the flag is not
important inside this function. Also, since no filesystem is checking the
flag anymore, remove the flag entirely now, including the BUG_ON check that
never triggered.

The net change of the changes here combined with the original commit is
that ecryptfs and overlayfs do not call vfs_getattr but only
vfs_getattr_nosec.
