[PATCH] proc: link count fix

This patch fixes bug titled "sunrpc as module and bad proc/sys link count"
reported by Jiri Slaby.

The problem was, that only proc_dir_entry->nlink was updated and the
corresponding inode->i_nlink was not.  The fix is to implement the
inode->getattr() method, and update i_nlink (if necessary).

A quick audit of proc code shows that no other attribute changes after
creation.
