Fix race between proc_get_inode() and remove_proc_entry()
proc_lookup remove_proc_entry
=========== =================
lock_kernel();
spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
[find PDE with refcount 0]
spin_unlock(&proc_subdir_lock);
spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
[find PDE with refcount 0]
[check refcount and free PDE]
spin_unlock(&proc_subdir_lock);
