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.
Users: ocfs2-tools. It's sufficient to mail proposed changes to
ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com.

code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some

What: /sys/o2cb symlink
When: January 2010
Why: /sys/fs/o2cb is the proper location for this information - /sys/o2cb
exists as a symlink for backwards compatibility for old versions of
ocfs2-tools. 2 years should be sufficient time to phase in new versions
which know to look in /sys/fs/o2cb.
