ocfs2: Move /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb



/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects.

Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain
backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After
some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds
documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb
is used for.

What:		/sys/o2cb symlink
Date:		Dec 2005
KernelVersion:	2.6.16
Contact:	ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
Description:	This is a symlink: /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb. The symlink will
		be removed when new versions of ocfs2-tools which know to look
		in /sys/fs/o2cb are sufficiently prevalent. Don't code new
		software to look here, it should try /sys/fs/o2cb instead.
		See Documentation/ABI/stable/o2cb for more information on usage.
Users:		ocfs2-tools. It's sufficient to mail proposed changes to
		ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com.

What:		/sys/fs/o2cb/ (was /sys/o2cb)
Date:		Dec 2005
KernelVersion:	2.6.16
Contact:	ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
Description:	Ocfs2-tools looks at 'interface-revision' for versioning
		information. Each logmask/ file controls a set of debug prints
		and can be written into with the strings "allow", "deny", or
		"off". Reading the file returns the current state.
