erofs: mark experimental fscache backend deprecated

Although fscache is still described as "General Filesystem Caching" for
network filesystems and other things such as ISO9660 filesystems, it has
actually become a part of netfslib recently, which was unexpected at the
time when "EROFS over fscache" proposed (2021) since EROFS is entirely a
disk filesystem and the dependency is redundant.

Mark it deprecated and it will be removed after "fanotify pre-content
hooks" lands, which will provide the same functionality for EROFS.
