[PATCH] nfs: Make NFS_FSCACHE select NETFS_SUPPORT instead of depending on it

[Dragan Simic]

Having the NFS_FSCACHE option depend on the NETFS_SUPPORT options makes
selecting NFS_FSCACHE impossible unless another option that additionally
selects NETFS_SUPPORT is already selected.

As a result, for example, being able to reach and select the NFS_FSCACHE
option requires the CEPH_FS or CIFS option to be selected beforehand, which
obviously doesn't make much sense.

Let's correct this by making the NFS_FSCACHE option actually select the
NETFS_SUPPORT option, instead of depending on it.
