/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.

+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.

+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.
