In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Delete subtree of 'fs/netfs' when netfs module exits

In netfs_init() or fscache_proc_init(), we create dentry under 'fs/netfs',
but in netfs_exit(), we only delete the proc entry of 'fs/netfs' without
deleting its subtree. This triggers the following WARNING:

==================================================================
remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'fs/netfs', leaking at least 'requests'
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 566 at fs/proc/generic.c:717 remove_proc_entry+0x160/0x1c0

Therefore use remove_proc_subtree() instead of remove_proc_entry() to
fix the above problem.
