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"

- * @idx_ni:	index inode containing the @entry described by this context
- * @entry:	index entry (points into @ir or @ia)
- * @data:	index entry data (points into @entry)
- * @data_len:	length in bytes of @data
- * @is_in_root:	'true' if @entry is in @ir and 'false' if it is in @ia

- *
- * @idx_ni is the index inode this context belongs to.
- *
- * @entry is the index entry described by this context.  @data and @data_len
- * are the index entry data and its length in bytes, respectively.  @data
- * simply points into @entry.  This is probably what the user is interested in.
- *
- * If @is_in_root is 'true', @entry is in the index root attribute @ir described
- * by the attribute search context @actx and the base inode @base_ni.  @ia and
- * @page are NULL in this case.
- *
- * If @is_in_root is 'false', @entry is in the index allocation attribute and @ia
- * and @page point to the index allocation block and the mapped, locked page it
- * is in, respectively.  @ir, @actx and @base_ni are NULL in this case.
- *
- * To obtain a context call ntfs_index_ctx_get().
- *
- * We use this context to allow ntfs_index_lookup() to return the found index
- * @entry and its @data without having to allocate a buffer and copy the @entry
- * and/or its @data into it.
- *
- * When finished with the @entry and its @data, call ntfs_index_ctx_put() to
- * free the context and other associated resources.
- *
- * If the index entry was modified, call flush_dcache_index_entry_page()
- * immediately after the modification and either ntfs_index_entry_mark_dirty()
- * or ntfs_index_entry_write() before the call to ntfs_index_ctx_put() to
- * ensure that the changes are written to disk.
