Subject: Remove proc_mnt's use for killing inodes

From: Dave Hansen <hansendc@us.ibm.com>


We use proc_mnt as a shortcut to find a superblock on which
to go killing /proc inodes.  This will break if we ever have
more than one /proc superblock.  So, use the superblock list
to go find each of the /proc sb's and kill inodes on each
superblock.

This does introduce an extra lock grab from what was there
before, but the list should be only 1 long 99% of the time,
and we don't exactly remove proc entries in hot paths.  Note
that this *isn't* the path that we use to get rid of the
actual /proc pid entries.  Those are a different beast.
