Update call sites in the fs subsystem to import `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` from `sync::aref` instead of `types`.

This aligns with the ongoing effort to move `ARef` and
`AlwaysRefCounted` to sync.

It part of a subsystem-wise split series, as suggested in:

This split series is intended to ease review and subsystem-level maintenance.

The original moving patch is here: (commit 07dad44aa9a93)

Gradually the re-export from types.rs will be eliminated in the
future cycle.

Applied to the vfs-6.18.rust branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.

I think it would be nice if we could get all fs related patches sent to
fsdevel so list-only subscribers get them. :)
