Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below).
Switch to usual scheme:
* PDE is created with refcount 1
* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without
introducing new locks, without abusing old locks, without spreading
lock_kernel():
1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (de->deleted)
/* also not taken! */
free_proc_entry(de);
else
de->deleted = 1;
[refcount=0, deleted=1]
2) use after free
remove_proc_entry de_put
----------------- ------
[refcnt = 1]
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&de->count))
if (atomic_read(&de->count) == 0)
free_proc_entry(de);
/* boom! */
if (de->deleted)
free_proc_entry(de);

Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.
Dummy proc root in netns code is not marked with refcount 1. AFAICS, we
never get it, it's just for proper /proc/net removal. I double checked
CLONE_NETNS continues to work.
Patch survives many hours of modprobe/rmmod/cat loops without new bugs
which can be attributed to refcounting.
