[GIT PULL 07/18 for v7.3] vfs freevxfs

[Christian Brauner]

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This removes the freevxfs driver. Providing compatibility with
various old-school Unix systems from the 1990s was fun 25 years ago.
Today it mostly serves as fodder for automated bug checkers. There has
been only one known user and contributor in the last 15 years.

/* Testing */

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
