Subject: Future of liblockdep

liblockdep hasn't been buildable since (I think) Linux 4.6.  I sent
Sasha fixes for that last June and he included these in a pull request
to Ingo, but somehow they never reached mainline.  Linux 4.8 broke
liblockdep further, and I gave up packaging it for Debian.

There have been no other changes to liblockdep since then, other than a
general change in the tools/ directory.  Sasha's address in MAINTAINERS
is also out-of-date.

Please either maintain liblockdep properly or delete it.  We shouldn't
keep code in the tree in a broken state.

Ben.
