fs: remove uselib() system call

This system call has been deprecated for quite a while now.
Let's try and remove it from the kernel completely.

config USELIB
bool "uselib syscall (for libc5 and earlier)"
default ALPHA || M68K || SPARC
help
This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
running glibc can safely disable this.
