cifs: remove old dead code
While reviewing a patch clarifying locks and locking hierarchy I realized some locks were unused. This commit removes old data and code that isn't actually used anywhere, or hidden in ifdefs which cannot be enabled from the kernel config. * The uid/gid trees and associated locks are left-overs from when uid/sid mapping had an extra caching layer on top of the keyring and are now unused. See commit faa65f07 ("cifs: simplify id_to_sid and sid_to_id mapping code") from 2012. * cifs_oplock_break_ops is a left-over from when slow_work was remplaced by regular workqueue and is now unused. See commit 9b646972 ("cifs: use workqueue instead of slow-work") from 2010. * CIFSSMBSetAttrLegacy is SMB1 cruft dealing with some legacy NT4/Win9x behaviour. * Remove CONFIG_CIFS_DNOTIFY_EXPERIMENTAL left-overs. This was already partially removed in 392e1c5d ("cifs: rename and clarify CIFS_ASYNC_OP and CIFS_NO_RESP") from 2019. Kill it completely. * Another candidate that was considered but spared is CONFIG_CIFS_NFSD_EXPORT which has an empty implementation and cannot be enabled by a config option (although it is listed but disabled with "BROKEN" as a dep). It's unclear whether this could even function today in its current form but it has it's own .c file and Kconfig entry which is a bit more involved to remove and might make a come back?
