proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::namelen unsigned int
1. namelen is declared "unsigned short" which hints for "maybe space savings".
Indeed in 2.4 struct proc_dir_entry looked like:
struct proc_dir_entry {
unsigned short low_ino;
unsigned short namelen;
Now, low_ino is "unsigned int", all savings were gone for a long time.
"struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size,
anyway.
2. converting from unsigned short to int/unsigned int can only create
problems, we better play it safe.
Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next
field. sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.
