Yes, you're right! I thought that getattr is called always together with
open(). I wanted to prevent all attempts open() for not-pid directories.

My main task was to hide all possible direcitrices from the /proc
(in pidonly mode)... even those which we do not know. In this case we
can't rely on the fact that everyone will follow the rules and to
properly handle open().

My current attempt was to force filesystem level check of mountpoint flag.
This is necessary to avoid even the theoretical possibility of ignoring
"pidonly" parameter.

I guess I need to add callback to vfs_open or something to can be sure
that we will not open the wrong file or directory in pidonly mode.
