Fixes: #18305

This signature has been added in #13424. It seems to be erroneous as it can make an inattentive reader (me at least) think that listener is not a previously defined listener for fs.watchFile(), but a new callback for fs.unwatchFile(). Sorry if I am wrong and doubly confusing.

Since listener is listed as optional in the signature, we may just remove the undefined here and mention it is optional.

Also to avoid the confusion, maybe something like

- `listener` {Function} Optional, a listener previously attached using `fs.watchFile()`

?
