[PATCH] remove verify_area(): remove fs/umsdos/notes as it only contain a verify_area related note
The file `fs/umsdos/notes' contains only a small note about a possible bug
involving verify_area(). Since umsdos is no longer in the kernel and
verify_area() is also gone, it seems to make sense that this file goes the way
of the Dodo.
After applying this patch the `fs/umsdos/' directory will be empty and can be
removed entirely.
