What I put into the patch queue comments out all of
ext4_mb_init_per_dev_proc() and ext4_mb_destroy_per_dev_proc() if
CONFIG_PROC_FS is not defined.  This not the common case, (even "make
allnoconfig" leaves CONFIG_PROC_FS defined), so don't think it's worth
messing with #ifdef'ing the structure, and adding to add even more
#ifdef's into the code.  For a similar reason it's not worth it to add
#ifdef's to the call sites of these functions.  It just clutters the
code more, and gcc should be able to optimize out a call to an empty
static function anyway.
