This optional callback was added in the commit 1f45f9dbb392 ("fb_defio:
add first_io callback") but it was never used by a driver. Let's remove
it since it's unlikely that will be used after a decade that was added.

I vaguely remember that this was important at some point. Maybe before the big rework of the pagelist? Don't know; it's unused now.
