[PATCH] proc: fix of error path in proc_get_inode()
This patch fixes incorrect error path in proc_get_inode(), when module can't be get due to being unloaded. When try_module_get() fails, this function puts de(!) and still returns inode with non-getted de. There are still unresolved known bugs in proc yet to be fixed: - proc_dir_entry tree is managed without any serialization - create_proc_entry() doesn't setup de->owner anyhow, so setting it later manually is inatomic. - looks like almost all modules do not care whether it's de->owner is set...
