PATCH 1/1 remove two obsolete HFS docs

I can't judge about the other docs under fs/hfs/ , but the INSTALL.txt and Changelog there are definitely too outdated to be useful for anyone. The patch below removes them.

-  Installation instructions for the HFS Filesystem for Linux
-  Paul H. Hargrove, [email protected]
-  version 0.95 28 Apr 1997
-
-  This document explains how to compile and install version 0.95 of
-  hfs_fs, the HFS filesystem for Linux.
-
-  11..  SSyysstteemm RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss
-
-  You will need the following to compile and use this release of hfs_fs:
-
-  +o  Kernel version 2.0.1 or newer compiled with modules enabled
-     (CONFIG_MODULES).
-
-  +o  The kernel sources (or at least the header files) available online.
-
-  +o  The module utilities package current for your kernel version and an
-     understanding of how to use it.
-
-  22..  IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
-
-  This release of the HFS filesystem is not part of the official kernel
-  distribution.  Therefore, it is compiled as a module and then loaded
-  into the kernel using the module utilities.  Therefore, your kernel
-  must be compiled with CONFIG_MODULES enabled.
-
-  22..11..  CCoommppiilliinngg tthhee llooaaddaabbllee mmoodduullee
-
-  To compile hfs.o you should only need to execute ``make'' in the
-  hfs_fs source directory.
-
-  If gcc complains about not finding a large number of header files with
-  names beginning with ``linux/'' then you probably don't have the
-  kernel header files installed correctly.  Either /usr/include/linux,
-  /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/scsi should be symbolic links to
-  include/linux, include/asm and include/scsi in the kernel source tree
-  for the kernel you wish to use hfs_fs with, or else they should be
-  directories containing the header files for the kernel you wish to use
-  hfs_fs with.
-
-  If gcc complains about not finding linux/version.h, then you will need
-  to run ``make dep'' in the kernel source directory to build it.  Under
-  MkLinux, run ``make include/linux/version.h'' instead.
-
-  If gcc complains about not finding the files linux/config.h or
-  linux/autoconf.h, then you will need to run ``make config'' and ``make
-  dep'' in the kernel source directory to build these two files.
-
-  If you are compiling on a DEC Alpha and receive messages saying
-  assignment from incompatible pointer type when compiling files dir_*.c
-  and file_*.c, then you need to change a single line in the file
-  linux/hfs_fs.h.  Remove the text ``&& !defined(__alpha__)'' from the
-  end of line 217.
-
-  22..22..  IInnssttaalllliinngg tthhee mmoodduullee iinn tthhee mmoodduulleess ddiirreeccttoorryy ((ooppttiioonnaall))
-
-  If you plan to use kerneld to automatically load the module or if you
-  wish to use modprobe or insmod without supplying a complete path to
-  hfs.o, then you will need to copy hfs.o into a directory where the
-  module utilities expect to find it.
-
-  The proper directory may depend slightly on your configuration.
-  However, /lib/modules/default/fs/ is a common one for filesystem
-  modules.  Once hfs.o is in the proper directory you should run depmod
-  -a to update the dependency list used by kerneld and modprobe.
-
-  22..33..  LLooaaddiinngg tthhee mmoodduullee iinnttoo tthhee rruunnnniinngg kkeerrnneell
-
-  There are three ways to accomplish this:
-
-  1. If you are running kerneld and have installed hfs.o in the modules
-     directory then you don't need to issue any commands; the module
-     will be loaded when you attempt to mount an HFS filesystem.
-
-  2. If you are _n_o_t running kerneld then you can load hfs.o manually by
-     running modprobe hfs.o.  If you have not installed hfs.o in one of
-     the standard module directories, then you will need provide a full
-     path to the file hfs.o.
-
-  3. If you have been experiencing kernel crashes with hfs_fs, then you
-     should file a bug report including the names of the functions which
-     the EIP and Stack Trace point into.  To help with this you can ask
-     for relocation map for the module when you load it.  To do this
-     load the module with ``insmod -m hfs.o >loadmap''.  Again, you may
-     need a full path to the file hfs.o if you have not placed it in one
-     of the standard module directories.
-
-  22..44..  UUssiinngg tthhee mmoodduullee wwiitthh vveerrssiioonneedd ssyymmbboollss
-
-  All the interface between the module and the kernel take place through
-  very stable (since the mid-1.3.x kernels) parts of the kernel.  If you
-  enabled versioned symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) when you compiled your
-  kernel you should often be able to compile this module once and then
-  use it with many kernels newer than the one you compiled it for.
-
-  In any case, it is unlikely that this module will need changes with
-  each new kernel patch; simple recompilation should usually suffice.
