exofs: deprecate the commands pending counter
One leftover from the days of IBM's original code, is an SB counter
that counts in-flight asynchronous commands. And a piece of code that
waits for the counter to reach zero at unmount. I guess it might have
been needed then, cause of some reference missing or something.
I'm not removing it yet but am putting a warning message if ever this
counter triggers at unmount. If I'll never see it triggers or reported
I'll remove the counter for good.
(I had this print as a debug output for a long time and never had it
trigger)
