Perhaps not so much a bug as a POLA violation.  I found two ways to
clean up src/sys/vfs:

1. make mclean   (from src/sys only)

There's a note about this in the Makefile, though:
"XXX this may be temporary, should the module build be incorporated into
the default build (make the SUBDIR additions above non-conditional)?"

2. make MODULES_WITH_WORLD=yes clean  (from src/sys or src)

Assuming this is a POLA violation, here is a patch to make 'make clean'
always clean up all of the sys subtree.  But making the SUBDIR additions
non-conditional (as suggested by the XXX comment) would achieve the same
effect, so if we're going down that path, just ignore this patch.
