Subject: proc: always do ->release

Current two-stage scheme of removing PDE emphasizes one bug in proc:

		open
				rmmod
				remove_proc_entry
		close

->release won't be called because ->proc_fops were cleared.  In simple
cases it's small memory leak.

For every ->open, ->release has to be done.  List of openers is introduced
which is traversed at remove_proc_entry() if neeeded.

Discussions with Al long ago (sigh).
