treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

fanotify: Select EXPORTFS

Fanotify now uses exportfs_encode_inode_fh() so it needs to select
EXPORTFS.

fanotify: permissions and blocking

This is the backend work needed for fanotify to support the new
FS_OPEN_PERM and FS_ACCESS_PERM fsnotify events. This is done using the
new fsnotify secondary queue. No userspace interface is provided actually
respond to or request these events.

# ef601a9c 17-Dec-2009 Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

fanotify: select ANON_INODES.

fanotify references anon_inode_getfd(), which is only available with
ANON_INODES enabled. Presently this bails out with the following:

LD vmlinux
fs/built-in.o: In function `sys_fanotify_init':
(.text+0x26d1c): undefined reference to `anon_inode_getfd'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

which is trivially corrected by adding an ANON_INODES select.

fanotify: fscking all notification system

fanotify is a novel file notification system which bases notification on
giving userspace both an event type (open, close, read, write) and an open
file descriptor to the object in question. This should address a number of
races and problems with other notification systems like inotify and dnotify
and should allow the future implementation of blocking or access controlled
notification. These are useful for on access scanners or hierachical storage
management schemes.

This patch just implements the basics of the fsnotify functions.
