Subject: proc: spread likely/unlikely a bit
use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc
file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module
(read: never). So it gets "likely".
unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason.
close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is a
race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever).
It even saves code on x86_64 defconfig:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 2/-20 (-18)
Function old new delta
close_pdeo 183 185 +2
proc_reg_get_unmapped_area 119 111 -8
proc_reg_poll 85 73 -12
