Deprecate ustat syscall interface
As for sysctl, ustat has been deprecated in favor of {f}statfs. Also
some newer ports which uses generic interface builds a stub version that
returns ENOSYS.
This patch deprecates ustat interface by removing ustat.h related headers,
adding a compatibility symbol, and avoiding new ports to build and provide
the symbol.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Also checked with a
check-abi on all affected ABIs.
* NEWS: Add ustat.h deprecation entry.
* bits/ustat.h: Remove file.
* misc/sys/ustat.h: Likewise.
* misc/ustat.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/ustat.c: Likewise.
* misc/Makefile (headers): Remove ustat.h and sys/ustat.h.
* misc/ustat.c (__ustat): Rename to __old_ustat and export only in
compatibility mode.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ustat.c (__ustat): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/ustat.c: Define DEV_TO_KDEV and use
generic Linux implementation.
