e6fc7b3ff7 Kernel: Switch LockRefPtr<Inode> to RefPtr<Inode>
The main place where this is a little iffy is in RAMFS where inodes
have a LockWeakPtr to their parent inode. I've left that as a
LockWeakPtr for now.

4a14138230 Kernel/FileSystem: Fix check of read offset for the RAMFSInode code
The check of ensuring we are not trying to read beyond the end of the
inode data buffer is already there, it's just that we need to disallow
further reading if the read offset equals to the inode data size.

ed67a877a3 Kernel+SystemServer+Base: Introduce the RAMFS filesystem
This filesystem is based on the code of the long-lived TmpFS. It differs
from that filesystem in one keypoint - its root inode doesn't have a
sticky bit on it.

Therefore, we mount it on /dev, to ensure only root can modify files on
that directory. In addition to that, /tmp is mounted directly in the
SystemServer main (start) code, so it's no longer specified in the fstab
file. We ensure that /tmp has a sticky bit and has the value 0777 for
root directory permissions, which is certainly a special case when using
RAM-backed (and in general other) filesystems.

Because of these 2 changes, it's no longer needed to maintain the TmpFS
filesystem, hence it's removed (renamed to RAMFS), because the RAMFS
represents the purpose of this filesystem in a much better way - it
relies on being backed by RAM "storage", and therefore it's easy to
conclude it's temporary and volatile, so its content is gone on either
system shutdown or unmounting of the filesystem.
