Alexey Dobriyan d56c0d45f0 proc: decouple proc from VFS with "struct proc_ops" 
Currently core /proc code uses "struct file_operations" for custom hooks,
however, VFS doesn't directly call them.  Every time VFS expands
file_operations hook set, /proc code bloats for no reason.

Introduce "struct proc_ops" which contains only those hooks which /proc
allows to call into (open, release, read, write, ioctl, mmap, poll).  It
doesn't contain module pointer as well.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
