Don't you think this should be it's own patch. It is after all internal
api change. This also needs documentation. It would be confusing if
someone convert to new mount api and there is one line which just
address some proc stuff but even commit message does not address does
every fs needs to add this. 

Documentation is very good shape right now and we are in face that
everyone is migrating to use new mount api so everyting should be well
documented.
