Commit a2225d931f75 ("autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs")
promised the removal of the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS
within a couple of releases, but five years later this still has not
happened yet, and AUTOFS4_FS is still enabled in 63 defconfigs.
Ok, I ran the script, and also decided that we might as well remove
the AUTOFS4 legacy naming stub entry by now.

It has been five years, and people will have either picked up the new
name with 'make oldconfig', or they just don't use 'make oldconfig' at
all.

Agreed, thanks Linus.
