Linus Torvalds a2225d931f autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs
There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.

Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).

There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.

One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.

This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.

Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

Arnd Bergmann db7bee24d2 autofs3: move to drivers/staging
Nobody appears to be interested in fixing autofs3 bugs
any more and it uses the BKL, which is going away.

Move this to staging for retirement. Unless someone
complains until 2.6.38, we can remove it for good.

The include/linux/auto_fs.h header file is still used
by autofs4, so it remains in place.
