proc: less LOCK operations during lookup

Pseudo-code for lookup effectively is:

LOCK kernel
LOCK proc_subdir_lock
find PDE
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock

get inode

LOCK proc_subdir_lock
goto unlock
UNLOCK proc_subdir_lock
UNLOCK kernel

We can get rid of LOCK/UNLOCK pair after getting inode simply by jumping
to unlock_kernel() directly.
