kmemtrace, fs: uninline simple_transaction_set()
Impact: cleanup

We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fs.h has an implicit include file depedency: it
uses PAGE_SIZE but does not include asm/page.h which defines it.

This problem gets masked in practice because most fs.h using sites
use rcupreempt.h (and other headers) which includes percpu.h which
brings in asm/page.h indirectly.

We cannot add asm/page.h to asm/fs.h because page.h is not an
exported header.

Move simple_transaction_set() to the other simple-transaction
file helpers in fs/libfs.c.

This removes the include file hell and also reduces
kernel size a bit.
