    cifs: remove dnotify thread code
    
    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.
