    NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3 · 1a448fdb

    Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of
    the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected.
    
    Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3".  This makes
    NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is
    enabled if NFSD_V4 is.
    
    Sam Ravnborg adds:
    
    "This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select
    a symbol with dependencies.
    
    In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4
    so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to
    update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3?
    
    But I see no other clean way to do it right now."
    
    Later he said:
    
    "My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig.
    This is abuse in the acceptable range."
