Subject: [PATCH] ls: restore 8.31 behavior on removed directories

* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/ls.c: Do not include <sys/sycall.h>
(print_dir): Don't worry about whether the directory is removed.
* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: Adjust to match new (i.e., old)
behavior.

 * Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
 
+** Changes in behavior
+
+  On GNU/Linux systems, ls no longer issues an error message on
+  directory merely because it was removed.  This reverts a change
+  that was made in release 8.32.

 * Noteworthy changes in release 8.32 (2020-03-05) [stable]
