[PATCH] - kNFSd in 2.5.15 - Require export operations for exporting a filesystem

This removes the old alternates to export_operations for exporting a
filesystem.

It removes fh_to_dentry, dentry_to_fh, and s_nfsd_free_path_sem.  It
also removes a lot of code.

The fs/ntfs change is because it was setting fh_to_dentry and
dentry_to_fh (which no longer exist) to NULL.

 settles down a bit.

+s_export_op is now required for exporting a filesystem.
