Revert "vfs: Export file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo"
This reverts commit 93f1c20bc8cdb757be50566eff88d65c3b26881f.
It turns out that libmount misparses it because it adds a '-' character
in the uuid string, which libmount then incorrectly confuses with the
separator string (" - ") at the end of all the optional arguments.
Upstream libmount (in the util-linux tree) has been fixed, but until
that fix actually percolates up to users, we'd better not expose this
change in the kernel.
Let's revisit this later (possibly by exposing the UUID without any '-'
characters in it, avoiding the user-space bug).
