proc: fix NULL ->i_fop oops

proc_kill_inodes() can clear ->i_fop in the middle of vfs_readdir resulting in
NULL dereference during "file->f_op->readdir(file, buf, filler)".

The solution is to remove proc_kill_inodes() completely:

a) we don't have tricky modules implementing their tricky readdir hooks which
   could keeping this revoke from hell.

b) In a situation when module is gone but PDE still alive, standard
   readdir will return only "." and "..", because pde->next was cleared by
   remove_proc_entry().

c) the race proc_kill_inode() destined to prevent is not completely
   fixed, just race window made smaller, because vfs_readdir() is run
   without sb_lock held and without file_list_lock held.  Effectively,
   ->i_fop is cleared at random moment, which can't fix properly anything.

      Unfortunately we have another copy of this junk in
