Crap. I know what happened. At first proposal time Tejun (iirc ;) said that
is might be better to separate proc_get_link change. I did so... and of
course I forgot to send it out ;) Ie it's in my queue and I dont see any
warnings for that reason. Sorry for that. Attached below.

Subject: fs, proc: Make proc_get_link to use dentry instead of inode

This patch prepares the ground for the next "map_files"
patch which needs a name of a link file to analyse.

So instead of squashing this change into one big
patch the separate one is done.
