Subject: [PATCH 02/11] NFSD: Remove NFSD_TCP kernel build option

Likewise, distros usually leave CONFIG_NFSD_TCP enabled.

TCP support in the Linux NFS server is stable enough that we can leave it
on always.  CONFIG_NFSD_TCP adds about 10 lines of code, and defaults to
"Y" anyway.

A run-time switch might be more appropriate if people feel they would like
to disable NFSD's TCP support.
