CAPI: Schedule capifs for removal
With dynamic TTY nodes and the help of udev, we no longer need this special filesystem. Schedule it for removal in one year from now. As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that users can read the rationale. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
