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).
