efs: Remove EFS

The kernel EFS code has been unmaintained for over twenty years. It was superseded on IRIX around thirty years ago. I haven't seen an EFS filesystem in the wild since 1999. Userspace tools to read EFS filesystems exist, such as https://github.com/jkbenaim/efsextract There's no benefit to keeping this filesystem in the kernel, and it only increases the maintenance burden for tree-wide changes.
