[PATCH 6/7] nfsd: formally deprecate legacy nfsd syscall interface

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

The syscall interface is has been replaced by a more flexible
interface since 2.6.0.  It is time to work towards discarding
the old interface.

So add a entry in feature-removal-schedule.txt and print a warning
when the interface is used.

+What:   access to nfsd auth cache through sys_nfsservctl or '.' files
+        in the 'nfsd' filesystem.
+When:   2.6.40
+Why:    This is a legacy interface which have been replaced by a more
+        dynamic cache.  Continuing to maintain this interface is an
+        unnecessary burden.
