If module removes proc directory while another process pins it by
chdir'ing to it, then subsequent recreation of proc entry and all
entries down the tree will not be visible to any process until pinning
process unchdir from directory and unpins everything.

Steps to reproduce:

	proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
	proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);

		chdir("/proc/aaa");

	remove_proc_entry("aaa/bbb", NULL);
	remove_proc_entry("aaa", NULL);

	proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
	# inaccessible because "aaa" dentry still points
	# to the original "aaa".
	proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);

Fix is to implement ->d_revalidate and ->d_delete.
