Alexey Dobriyan d919b33daf proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files
Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which
could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"...

Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close
reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens
if module is getting removed.  Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never
disappear simply do not need such protection.

Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such
"permanent" files.

Enable "permanent" flag for

	/proc/cpuinfo
	/proc/kmsg
	/proc/modules
	/proc/slabinfo
	/proc/stat
	/proc/sysvipc/*
	/proc/swaps

More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module
authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.

This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times
by N threads scattered over the system".

P.S.:
Explicit randomization marker is added because adding non-function pointer
will silently disable structure layout randomization.
