Due to git history for fs/smbfs directory (from many, many years ago) rename
to "fs/smbfs" could be more confusing. So alternative suggestion which
I implemented
was rename the source directory from fs/cifs to "fs/smbfs_client." I
will send a P/R
for that since it is fairly quiet right now. If you would prefer that
we wait for a future
release that is fine too, but seems like low risk now and might reduce
future confusion in
the future (to rename the source directory).
