Bug Description

The patch “UBUNTU: [Config] Dropped gfs” deleted the ubuntu/gfs directory without removing
  obj-$(CONFIG_GFS_FS) += gfs/
from ubuntu/Makefile. This causes `make clean` (which descends into obj-y, obj-m, obj-n, and obj-) to fail as follows:

$ make clean
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /home/anders/wd/linux-source-2.6.31/ubuntu/gfs/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/anders/wd/linux-source-2.6.31/ubuntu/gfs/Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [ubuntu/gfs] Error 2
make: *** [_clean_ubuntu] Error 2

This also causes Ksplice to fail for similar reasons.

The attached patch fixes the problem by commenting the GFS line from ubuntu/Makefile.
