um: Remove hppfs
hppfs (honeypot procfs) was an attempt to use UML as honeypot.
It was never stable nor in heavy use.
As Al Viro and Christoph Hellwig pointed some major issues out
it is better to let it die.

Not really.
Because you are listed as the maintainer, you should
be the person that fixes it as you are nominally and
actually responsible for introducing this defect.
You have a tree that gets pulled, I do not.
It'd probably take you less time to just do the
removal than asking me to send a patch did.
