nfsd: formally deprecate legacy nfsd syscall interface 

The syscall interface is has been replaced by a more flexible
interface since 2.6.0.  It is time to work towards discarding
the old interface.

So add a entry in feature-removal-schedule.txt and print a warning
when the interface is used.

What: access to nfsd auth cache through sys_nfsservctl or '.' files
in the 'nfsd' filesystem.
When: 2.6.40
Why: This is a legacy interface which have been replaced by a more
dynamic cache. Continuing to maintain this interface is an
unnecessary burden.
