proc: less special case in xlate code
If valid "parent" is passed to proc_create/remove_proc_entry(), then name of PDE should consist of only one path component, otherwise creation or or removal will fail. However, if NULL is passed as parent then create/remove accept full path as a argument. This is arbitrary restriction -- all infrastructure is in place. So, patch allows the following to succeed: create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, pde_baz); remove_proc_entry("baz/foo/bar", &proc_root); Also makes the following to behave identically: create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, NULL); create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, &proc_root); Discrepancy noticed by Den Lunev (IIRC).
