nilfs2: simplify life cycle management of nilfs object

This stops pre-allocating nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb routine, and
stops managing its life cycle by reference counting.

nilfs_find_or_create_nilfs() function, nilfs->ns_mount_mutex,
nilfs_objects list, and the reference counter will be removed through
the simplification.
