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
+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.
