[Devel] [PATCH 7/7] proc: Cleanup proc_flush_task.

[Eric W. Biederman]

- shrink_dcache_parent is guarnateed to only flush dcache entries
  from the specified superblock.  So the the insanely subtle
  PF_EXITING check desgined to avoid flushing filesystems inodes
  that are not safe to call during exit is unecessary.

- The test to avoid excess flushing of dcache entries in proc
  got inverted and generally broken for threads, and frankly
  all it saved was a single d_hash_and_lookup so there was
  very little point to it.  So remove the check and keep
  the code stupid and correct.
