fs: export empty_aops

With the ->sync_page() hook gone, we have a few users that
add their own static address_space_operations without any
functions defined.

fs/inode.c already has an empty_aops that it uses for init
purposes. Lets export that and use it in the places where
an otherwise empty aops was defined.
