fs: Remove i_cindex from struct inode

The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used
is by the firewire drivers.  As part of an attempt to slim down the
inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will
have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a
reduction in the size inode has high leverage.

The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's
simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space
in the inode structure.
