Ocfs2 devel - Jun 2005 - [-mm patch] CONFIGFS_FS shouldn't be user-visible

I haven't found any reason why CONFIGFS_FS is user-visible.
Other parts of the kernel using configfs should simply select it.

	Doesn't work for external modules that might want to use it.
Imagine that configfs gets merged before OCFS2, which depends on it.
