Alexey Dobriyan e7a6e291e3 proc: faster open/close of files without ->release hook
The whole point of code in fs/proc/inode.c is to make sure ->release
hook is called either at close() or at rmmod time.

All if it is unnecessary if there is no ->release hook.

Save allocation+list manipulations under spinlock in that case.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
