proc 1/2: do PDE usecounting even for ->read_proc, ->write_proc
struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary
to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks.
However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch
->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on.

So, ->owner is on death row.
Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount
when necessary.
