cifs: create a new Documentation/ directory and move docfiles into it
Currently, we have a number of documentation files that live under fs/cifs/. Generally, these don't get picked up by distro packagers, since they're in a non-standard location. Move them to a new spot under Documentation/ instead. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>

-Original Author
-===============
-Steve French (sfrench@samba.org)
-
-The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
-Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
-improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue
-this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to
-the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
-Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server
-side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing
-portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank
-Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
-for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like
-operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John
-Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to
-the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
-Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
-thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
