proc: remove pathetic ->deleted WARN_ON

WARN_ON(de && de->deleted); is sooo unreliable. Why?

proc_lookup remove_proc_entry
=========== =================
lock_kernel();
spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
[find proc entry]
spin_unlock(&proc_subdir_lock);
spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
[find proc entry]

proc_get_inode
==============
WARN_ON(de && de->deleted); ...

if (!atomic_read(&de->count))
free_proc_entry(de);
else
de->deleted = 1;

So, if you have some strange oops [1], and doesn't see this WARN_ON it means
nothing.

[1] try_module_get() of module which doesn't exist, two lines below
    should suffice, or not?
