smbfs: move to drivers/staging

smbfs has been scheduled for removal in 2.6.27, so
maybe we can now move it to drivers/staging on the
way out.

smbfs still uses the big kernel lock and nobody
is going to fix that, so we should be getting
rid of it soon.

This removes the 32 bit compat mount and ioctl
handling code, which is implemented in common fs
code, and moves all smbfs related files into
drivers/staging/smbfs.

Smbfs is a filesystem that implements the SMB protocol, which is the
protocol used by Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Smbfs was inspired by Samba, the program written by Andrew Tridgell
that turns any Unix host into a file server for DOS or Windows clients.
Smbfs is a SMB client, but uses parts of samba for its operation. For
more info on samba, including documentation, please go to
http://www.samba.org/ and then on to your nearest mirror.
