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);
proc_get_inode:
	de_get(de); /* boom */
