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. Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

+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.
