Subject[PATCH 3/4] proc: simplify remove_proc_entry() wrt locking
We can take proc_subdir_lock for duration of list searching and removing
from lists only. It can't hurt -- we can gather any amount of looked up
PDEs right after proc_subdir_lock droppage in proc_lookup() anyway.
Current code should already deal with this correctly.

Also this should make code more undestandable:
* original looks like a loop, however, it's a loop with unconditional
trailing "break;" -- not loop at all.
* more explicit statement that proc_subdir_lock protects only ->subdir lists.
