proc: do less stuff under ->pde_unload_lock

Commit ca469f35a8 ("deal with races between remove_proc_entry() and
proc_reg_release()") moved too much stuff under ->pde_unload_lock making
a problem described at series "[PATCH v5] procfs: Improve Scaling in
proc" worse.

While RCU is being figured out, move kfree() out of ->pde_unload_lock.

On my potato, difference is only 0.5% speedup with concurrent
open+read+close of /proc/cmdline, but the effect should be more
noticeable on more capable machines.
