mainlining shenanigans

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year. EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression and decompression inplace technologies. In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable enough to be moved out of staging. EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems. As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way. Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
