It's a seriously rotten copy of parts of bp_mod.c; had been
ifdefed out all along, lacks a bunch of declarations that would
be needed if ifdef had been removed, all stuff in it is duplicated
in bp_mod.c anyway...

normal procfs logics will do just fine here, no need to
mess with ->proc_iops at all.

proc_create() has shat upon fops argument when mode is S_IFDIR.
Good thing, too, since fops passed to it is completely useless
for any directory.  Just use proc_mkdir(), damnit.

The procfs debug code in rtl_debug.c is, ironically, very buggy: it lacks proper locking.
Since the most useful part of the code (the stats) are available through more
standard APIs, I think it is best to just delete the whole mess.

it's used only as a flag to distinguish normal pipes/FIFOs from the

* new field - pipe->files; number of struct file over that pipe (all
  sharing the same inode, of course); protected by inode->i_lock.
* pipe_release() decrements pipe->files, clears inode->i_pipe when
  if the counter has reached 0 (all under ->i_lock) and, in that case,
  frees pipe after having done pipe_unlock()
* fifo_open() starts with grabbing ->i_lock, and either bumps pipe->files
  if ->i_pipe was non-NULL or allocates a new pipe (dropping and regaining
  ->i_lock) and rechecks ->i_pipe; if it's still NULL, inserts new pipe
  there, otherwise bumps ->i_pipe->files and frees the one we'd allocated.
  At that point we know that ->i_pipe is non-NULL and won't go away, so
  we can do pipe_lock() on it and proceed as we used to.  If we end up
  failing, decrement pipe->files and if it reaches 0 clear ->i_pipe and
  free the sucker after pipe_unlock().

* use the fact that file_inode(file)->i_pipe doesn't change
  while the file is opened - no locks needed to access that.
* switch to pipe_lock/pipe_unlock where it's easy to do
