Namjae Jeon 1f662195db fs: add generic FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN definitions
Currently, several filesystems (e.g., xfs, ext4, btrfs) implement
a "shutdown" or "going down" ioctl to simulate filesystem force a shutdown.
While they often use the same underlying numeric value, the definition is
duplicated across filesystem headers or private definitions.

Add generic definitions for FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN in uapi/linux/fs.h.
This allows new filesystems (like ntfs) to implement this feature using
a standard VFS definition and paves the way for existing filesystems
to unify their definitions later.

The flag names are standardized as FS_SHUTDOWN_* to be consistent with
the ioctl name, replacing the historical GOING_DOWN naming convention.
