Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 5ec5aab775 doc: split buffer.rst out of api-summary.rst
Buffer heads are no longer a generic filesystem API but an optional
filesystem support library.  Make the documentation structure reflect
that, and include the fine documentation kept in buffer_head.h.  We could
give a better overview of what buffer heads are all about, but my
enthusiasm for documenting it is limited.

Buffer Heads
============
Linux uses buffer heads to maintain state about individual filesystem blocks.
Buffer heads are deprecated and new filesystems should use iomap instead.
