Description

If path/src is missing from rm or rmr option then help message is displayed for these options.

On giving command "hadoop dfs -rm"
help message displayed is "Usage: java FsShell [-rm <path>]"
while it should be "Usage: java FsShell [-rm [-skipTrash] <path>]"

Same issue is there with rmr option also.
