[PATCH 23/28] ppc: Clean up scanlog [RFC]

[David Howells]

Clean up the pseries scanlog driver's use of procfs:

 (1) Don't need to save the proc_dir_entry pointer as we have the filename to
     remove with.

 (2) Save the scan log buffer pointer in a static variable (there is only one
     of it) and don't save it in the PDE (which doesn't have a destructor).
