Documentation: move mandatory locking documentation to filesystems/
Shouldn't this mandatory-locking documentation be in the
Documentation/filesystems directory?
Give it a more descriptive name while we're at it, and update 00-INDEX
with a more inclusive description of Documentation/filesystems (which
has already talked about more than just individual filesystems).
