[PATCH] proc: do less stuff under ->pde_unload_lock

[Alexey Dobriyan]

Commit ca469f35a8e9ef12571a4b80ac6d7fdc0260fb44
("deal with races between remove_proc_entry() and proc_reg_release()")
moved too much stuff under ->pde_unload_lock making a problem described
at series "[PATCH v5] procfs: Improve Scaling in proc" worse.

While RCU is being figured out, move kfree() out of ->pde_unload_lock.

On my potato, difference is only 0.5% speedup with concurrent
open+read+close of /proc/cmdline, but the effect should be more
noticeable on more capable machines.
