Ok I will post a v2 and leave NFSDBG_FSCACHE defined for now but add
the comment.  But once there's no more usages in the kernel, I'm not sure
what the proper way to deprecate and remove it would be though.

I can post a nfs-utils patch to deprecate (or remove) the usage of fscache
in rpcdebug too. What's the proper way to deprecate and remove rpcdebug
flags, or is there some reason we don't ever want to do it?
