Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.ntfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull ntfs update from Christian Brauner:
 "This removes the old ntfs driver. The new ntfs3 driver is a full
  replacement that was merged over two years ago. We've went through
  various userspace and either they use ntfs3 or they use the fuse
  version of ntfs and thus build neither ntfs nor ntfs3. I think that's
  a clear sign that we should risk removing the legacy ntfs driver.

  Quoting from Arch Linux and Debian:

   - Debian does neither build the legacy ntfs nor the new ntfs3:

     "Not currently built with Debian's kernel packages, 'ntfs' has been
      symlinked to 'ntfs-3g' as it relates to fstab and mount commands.

      Debian kernels are built without support of the ntfs3 driver
      developed by Paragon Software."  (cf. [2])

   - Archlinux provides ntfs3 as their default since 5.15:

     "All officially supported kernels with versions 5.15 or newer are
      built with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m and thus support it. Before 5.15,
      NTFS read and write support is provided by the NTFS-3G FUSE file
      system."  (cf. [1]).

  It's unmaintained apart from various odd fixes as well. Worst case we
  have to reintroduce it if someone really has a valid dependency on it.
  But it's worth trying to see whether we can remove it"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
