Subject: [PATCH 1/5] autofs: remove unused AUTOFS_IOC_EXPIRE_DIRECT/INDIRECT

From: Tomohiro Kusumi <tkusumi@...era.com>

These are not used by either kernel or userspace, although
AUTOFS_IOC_EXPIRE_DIRECT once seems to have been used by userspace
in around 2006-2008, which was technically just an alias of the
existing ioctl AUTOFS_IOC_EXPIRE_MULTI.

ioctls for autofs are already complicated enough that they could
be removed unless these are staying here to be able to compile
userspace code of certain period of time from a decade ago.

Edit: imk
Yes, this is indeed very old and anything that still uses must
be updated becuase it will be using broken functionality.
End edit: imk
