[PATCH v4 02/11] afs: Remove the "autocell" mount option

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Remove the "autocell" mount option.  It was an attempt to do automounting
of arbitrary cells based on what the user looked up but within the root
directory of a mounted volume.  This isn't really the right thing to do,
and using the "dyn" mount option to get the dynamic root is the right way
to do it.  The kafs-client package uses "-o dyn" when mounting /afs, so it
should be safe to drop "-o autocell".
