docs: path-lookup: remove filename_mountpoint

Browse source 
No filename_mountpoint any more
see commit: commit 161aff1d93 ("LOOKUP_MOUNTPOINT:
fold path_mountpointat() into path_lookupat()")

Without filename_mountpoint and path_mountpoint(), the
numbers should be four & three:

"These four correspond roughly to the three path_*() functions"

This pattern of "try RCU-walk, if that fails try REF-walk" can be
clearly seen in functions like ``filename_lookup()``,
``filename_parentat()``, ``filename_mountpoint()``,
``do_filp_open()``, and ``do_file_open_root()``. These five
correspond roughly to the four ``path_*()`` functions we met earlier,
``filename_parentat()``,
``do_filp_open()``, and ``do_file_open_root()``. These four
correspond roughly to the three ``path_*()`` functions we met earlier,
each of which calls ``link_path_walk()``. The ``path_*()`` functions are
called using different mode flags until a mode is found which works.
They are first called with ``LOOKUP_RCU`` set to request "RCU-walk". If
