Actually I'm pretty sure kernel calls proc_mount()
Here is the call stack
[    0.003450] [<ffffff8bef2a0190>] proc_mount+0x2c/0x98
[    0.003459] [<ffffff8bef22e560>] mount_fs+0x164/0x190
[    0.003465] [<ffffff8bef24c138>] vfs_kern_mount+0x74/0x168
[    0.003469] [<ffffff8bef24c244>] kern_mount_data+0x18/0x30
[    0.003474] [<ffffff8bef2a0258>] pid_ns_prepare_proc+0x24/0x40
[    0.003484] [<ffffff8bef0cd5ec>] alloc_pid+0x498/0x4b4
[    0.003492] [<ffffff8bef0a9b94>] copy_process.isra.73.part.74+0xed0/0x1708
[    0.003496] [<ffffff8bef0aa560>] _do_fork+0xdc/0x3f8
[    0.003501] [<ffffff8bef0aa8c8>] kernel_thread+0x34/0x3c
[    0.003511] [<ffffff8bf00cd498>] rest_init+0x20/0x80
[    0.003522] [<ffffff8bf0c00c7c>] start_kernel+0x3e4/0x43c
[    0.003527] [<ffffff8bf0c001e8>] __primary_switched+0x64/0x90
