Subject: proc: remove proc_root from drivers
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.
So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.
