[RFC PATCH] Remove CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS

It seems to duplicate CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
so use that instead.

This changes the !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN powerpc arch to use unaligned
accesses in fs/dcache.c and fs/namei.c as
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is enabled for that arch.

Remove the now unused DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS defines & uses.
