[PATCH 03/23] proc: Remove useless BKL in proc_pid_readlink.

[Eric W. Biederman]

We already call everything except do_proc_readlink
outside of the BKL in proc_pid_followlink, and there
appears to be nothing in do_proc_readlink that needs
any special protection.

So remove this leftover from one of the BKL cleanup
efforts.
