[PATCH 4/7] proc: Use d_invalidate in proc_prune_siblings_dcache

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

The function d_prune_aliases has the problem that it will only prune
aliases thare are completely unused.  It will not remove aliases for
the dcache or even think of removing mounts from the dcache.  For that
behavior d_invalidate is needed.

To use d_invalidate replace d_prune_aliases with d_find_alias
followed by d_invalidate and dput.  This is safe and complete
because no inode in proc has any hardlinks or aliases.

To make this behavior change clear rename
proc_prune_siblings_dache proc_invalidate_siblings_dcache,
and rename proc_sys_prune_dcache proc_sys_invalidate_dcache.
