Alexey Dobriyan 93ad5bc6d4 proc: rearrange args
Rearrange args for smaller code.

lookup revolves around memcmp() which gets len 3rd arg, so propagate
length as 3rd arg.

readdir and lookup add additional arg to VFS ->readdir and ->lookup, so
better add it to the end.

Space savings on x86_64:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-18 (-18)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	proc_readdir                                  22      13      -9
	proc_lookup                                   18       9      -9

proc_match() is smaller if not inlined, I promise!

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
