I think the warnings are useful - a duplicate name in /proc is a
significant kernel bug and we'll want to know precisely what caused it
and get it fixed up quickly.  So let's keep that bit.

Your patch conflicts somewhat with Nicolas's "fs/proc: use a rb tree for
the directory entries".  Here's what I ended up with:

Subject: procfs: fix error handling of proc_register()

proc_register() error paths are leaking inodes and directory refcounts.
