Title:
  vmhgfs doesn't work with linux 3.13 kernel

Status in “open-vm-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm using current trusty in a VMware image and with linux 3.13 the
  vmhgfs module doesn't work anymore. I use it to easily exchange files
  between my Windows desktop and the VM.

  $ uname -a
  Linux ubuntu 3.13.0-5-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 20 19:56:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  $ sudo modprobe vmhgfs
  $ sudo mount /mnt/hgfs/
  $ ls /mnt/hgfs/
  ls: cannot access /mnt/hgfs/: Not a directory
  $ ls -l /mnt
  total 3
  dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4192 Jan 24 08:27 hgfs

  Before the mounting or after unmounting /mnt/hgfs I can access that
  directory without problems.

  Folder sharing is enabled in the VM settings and works when I boot a
  linux 3.12 kernel (linux-image-3.12.0-7-generic).
