[PATCH] proc: Rewrite the proc dentry flush on exit optimization

Browse source 
To keep the dcache from filling up with dead /proc entries we flush them on
process exit.  However over the years that code has gotten hairy with a
dentry_pointer and a lock in task_struct and misdocumented as a correctness
feature.

I have rewritten this code to look and see if we have a corresponding entry in
the dcache and if so flush it on process exit.  This removes the extra fields
in the task_struct and allows me to trivially handle the case of a
/proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> entry as well as the current /proc/<pid> entries.
