proc: use slower rb_first()
In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that. Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache does it job, at last! As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can go into inline name.
