Subject: Unnecessary dependecy between nfsv3 and flexfiles modules

Dear NFS developers,
I have noticed an unnecessary dependency between the pNFS flexfiles layout driver and NFSv3 modules:
```Kconfig
config PNFS_FLEXFILE_LAYOUT
tristate
depends on NFS_V4_1 && NFS_V3
default NFS_V4
```
Thus, by disabling v3 (as one might do if only v4.1+ is needed), the flexfiles
layout driver is not available anymore.
It looks like, that flexfiles layout doesn't really depend on NFSv3 code and if I remove
this dependency, that I can build and run a kernel with flexfiles layout driver, but without
NFSv3 support:
```
[root@os-46-nfs-devel ~]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
nfs_layout_flexfiles 61440 1
nfsv4 1200128 2 nfs_layout_flexfiles
dns_resolver 12288 1 nfsv4
[root@os-46-nfs-devel ~]#
```
But might be there is a non-obvious dependency that I miss. Otherwise I happy to fix that :)
Best regards,
Tigran.
