Mark create_proc_read_entry deprecated. proc_create[_data]() should be used
instead.

do add_timer() *before* unlocking dev->lock, or unpleasant things can
happen if misdn_del_timer() on another CPU finds the sucker, calls
del_timer_sync() (which does nothing, since we hadn't started the
timer yet) and frees it, just as we get around to add_timer()...

mark the victim with negative ->id if misdn_del_timer() finds it on
the list, have timer callback *not* move ones so marked to dev->expired
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
timer callback in timerdev.c both accesses struct mISDNtimer it's
called for *and* moves it to dev->expired. We need del_timer_sync(),
or we risk kfree() freeing it right under dev_expire_timer() *and*
dev->expired getting corrupted.

mind you, I'm not sure WTF would anybody _need_ that miscdevice
at all - no IO is possible for it, opening it only pins the module
down and is seriously racy, at that.

switch binfmts that use ->read() to that (and to kernel_read()
in several cases in binfmt_flat - sure, it's nommu, but still,
doing ->read() into kmalloc'ed buffer...)

Switch huge if-statement in __proc_file_read() around. This then puts the
single line loop break immediately after the if-statement and allows us to
de-indent the huge comment and make it take fewer lines. The code following
the if-statement then follows naturally from the call to dp->read_proc().

misc device gets ->private_data pointing to struct miscdevice
on open(), so we can use that to get to per-device structure
instead of relying on file_operations being copied into it.

Remove device_open/close() functions as they don't really do anything and
remove Device_Open as it isn't counted atomically and the value isn't used.

Kill create_proc_entry() in favour of create_proc_read_entry(), proc_create()
and proc_create_data().
Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
create_proc_entry() shouldn't be used. Rather proc_create_data() should be
used. The proc_write() function is only used by #if'd out code, so delete it
for now.

Don't use create_proc_entry() in nubus_proc_subdir(). The files created aren't
given any way to use them, so for the moment use create_proc_read_entry() with
a NULL accessor and generate a compile-time warning.
