    Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify().  The only instance (cifs)
    has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates
    are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing
    that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking
    whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,
    deficiencies someday be dealt with.
