Remove the following unnecessary forward declarations from fs.h, which
improves maintainability.

- struct hd_geometry: became unused in fs.h when
  block_device_operations was moved to blkdev.h in commit 08f858512151
  ("[PATCH] move block_device_operations to blkdev.h"). The forward
  declaration is now added to blkdev.h where it is actually used.

- struct iovec: became unused when aio_read/aio_write were removed in
  commit 8436318205b9 ("->aio_read and ->aio_write removed")

- struct iov_iter: duplicate forward declaration. This removes the
  redundant second declaration, added in commit 293bc9822fa9
  ("new methods: ->read_iter() and ->write_iter()")
