[RFC PATCH v1 1/6] exfat: remove dead hint_bmap updates in I/O and truncate paths

From: Chi Zhiling <[email protected]>

hint_bmap is only consumed by exfat_readdir() during directory
iteration. exfat_map_cluster() runs on the file I/O path (via iomap)
and never reaches directory iteration, and __exfat_truncate() only
resets the hint when the inode is already being evicted, so drop
them along with the now-unused local_clu_offset.
