[PATCH] fs: Fix typo from smpfs to smbfs in filesystem documentation

[PATCH] fs: Fix typo from smpfs to smbfs in filesystem documentation

[kth]

The documentation incorrectly reffered to 'smbfs' as 'smpfs'. This change corrects that typo to ensure the documentation is accurate and not misleading.

ncpfs doesn't exist any more; it was removed many years ago.  And the
smbfs that is referred to here was replaced by cifs many years ago.

I have a feeling the entire highuid document should be deleted.  It
describes a transition that happened 25 years ago.

That seems like the right thing to do - it's essentially somebody's
"todo" list from 2000, which lacks relevance now.

Kang, would you like to submit a patch to simply remove the file
instead?

Thanks,
