[RFC 1/3] include/linux.h: Factor out generic platform_test_fs_fd() helper

[Ojaswin Mujoo <ojaswin@linux.ibm.com>]

Factor our the generic code to detect the FS type out of
platform_test_fs_fd(). This can then be used to detect different file
systems types based on magic number.

Also, add a helper to detect if the fd is from an ext4 filesystem.
