do add_timer() *before* unlocking dev->lock, or unpleasant things can
happen if misdn_del_timer() on another CPU finds the sucker, calls
del_timer_sync() (which does nothing, since we hadn't started the
timer yet) and frees it, just as we get around to add_timer()...

mark the victim with negative ->id if misdn_del_timer() finds it on
the list, have timer callback *not* move ones so marked to dev->expired
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

timer callback in timerdev.c both accesses struct mISDNtimer it's
called for *and* moves it to dev->expired.  We need del_timer_sync(),
or we risk kfree() freeing it right under dev_expire_timer() *and*
dev->expired getting corrupted.

mind you, I'm not sure WTF would anybody _need_ that miscdevice
at all - no IO is possible for it, opening it only pins the module
down and is seriously racy, at that.

Switch huge if-statement in __proc_file_read() around.  This then puts the
single line loop break immediately after the if-statement and allows us to
de-indent the huge comment and make it take fewer lines.  The code following
the if-statement then follows naturally from the call to dp->read_proc().

create_proc_entry() shouldn't be used.  Rather proc_create_data() should be
used.  The proc_write() function is only used by #if'd out code, so delete it
for now.

Don't use create_proc_entry() in nubus_proc_subdir().  The files created aren't
given any way to use them, so for the moment use create_proc_read_entry() with
a NULL accessor and generate a compile-time warning.
