Updated version of the patch (smaller now since the SPDX changes were
done in the previous patch), and split into
two patches to separate out the renaming of the uapi include directory
for cifs..  See attached.

Rename the smb3/cifs client directory:
        fs/cifs ---> fs/smbfs_client

(and the corresponding include/uapi/linux/cifs --->
include/uapi/linux/smbfs_client)

The original idea of renaming to fs/smbfs could have confused the
history due to conflicts with an earlier directory of the same name,
so use the directory name smbfs_client (this also fits better with the
relatively new fs/smbfs_common directory for the shared client/server
files).
