'fs rmm' just explicitly doesn't resolve symlinks. I don't know why;
it's the only 'fs' command to do so. My original thought had something
to do with avoiding resolving the final to-be-removed mountpoint, but
that doesn't make sense, since the directory-portion and
mountpoint-portion are separate arguments.

Either this is a bug or there's some corner case where not resolving
symlinks is desirable that I'm not seeing. A fix is in
<http://gerrit.openafs.org/1805>.
