proc: do translation + unlink atomically at remove_proc_entry()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
remove_proc_entry() does

	lock
	lookup parent
	unlock
	lock
	unlink proc entry from lists
	unlock

which can be made bit more correct by doing parent translation + unlink
without dropping lock.
