[linux-cifs-client] [PATCH 2/4] cifs: remove dnotify thread code

[Jeff Layton]

Al Viro recently removed the dir_notify code from the kernel along with
the CIFS code that used it. We can also get rid of the dnotify thread
as well.

In actuality, it never had anything to do with dir_notify anyway. All
it did was unnecessarily wake up all the tasks waiting on the response
queues every 15s. Previously that happened to prevent tasks from hanging
indefinitely when the server went unresponsive, but we put those to
sleep with proper timeouts now so there's no reason to keep this around.
