[PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regression

Browse source 
Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices.  Based on the proven design
for /proc/interrupts.

This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as
demonstrated by:

    # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
    Character devices:
      1 mem
    27+0 records in
    27+0 records out

This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.
