Subject[PATCH 3.16 134/366] fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix potential page fault while unregistering sysctl table
3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Danilo Krummrich <danilokrummrich@dk-develop.de>

commit a0b0d1c345d0317efe594df268feb5ccc99f651e upstream.

proc_sys_link_fill_cache() does not take currently unregistering sysctl
tables into account, which might result into a page fault in
sysctl_follow_link() - add a check to fix it.

This bug has been present since v3.4.
