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).

1.3 Mandatory Locking As A Mount Option
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Mandatory locking, as described in 'Documentation/mandatory.txt' was prior
|
||||
to this release a general configuration option that was valid for all
|
||||
mounted filesystems. This had a number of inherent dangers, not the least
|
||||
of which was the ability to freeze an NFS server by asking it to read a
|
||||
file for which a mandatory lock existed.

From this release of the kernel, mandatory locking can be turned on and off
|
||||
on a per-filesystem basis, using the mount options 'mand' and 'nomand'.
