Al Viro's recent "braindump" on how struct file refcounting works is too
good to lose, so let's capture it in Documentation/.  There are two changes
here:

 - Clean up the filesystem book, move stuff around, and generally try to
   create some order here.  No text changes other than some connecting
   text.

 - Bring in Al's text, with a fair amount of language tweaking and later
   corrections applied.

Hopefully this is just the beginning.
