	carefully

Ralf, please confirm.



[PATCH] ext4: fix #11321: create /proc/ext4/*/stats more carefully

ext4 creates per-suberblock directory in /proc/ext4/ . Name used as
basis is taken from bdevname, which, surprise, can contain slash.

However, proc while allowing to use proc_create("a/b", parent) form of
PDE creation, assumes that parent/a was already created.

bdevname in question is 'cciss/c0d0p9', directory is not created and all
this stuff goes directly into /proc (which is real bug).

Warning comes when _second_ partition is mounted.
