proc: less LOCK operations during lookup
Pseudo-code for lookup effectively is: LOCK kernel LOCK proc_subdir_lock find PDE UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock get inode LOCK proc_subdir_lock goto unlock UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock UNLOCK kernel We can get rid of LOCK/UNLOCK pair after getting inode simply by jumping to unlock_kernel() directly.
