Various people have been mucking with procfs core:

proc-remove-module_license.patch
proc-less-lock-operations-during-lookup.patch
proc-simplify-function-prototypes.patch
proc-remove-useless-check-on-symlink-removal.patch
proc-remove-useless-checks-in-proc_register.patch
proc-detect-duplicate-names-on-registration.patch
proc-detect-duplicate-names-on-registration-fix.patch
proc-simplify-remove_proc_entry-wrt-locking.patch
proc-simplify-remove_proc_entry-wrt-locking-checkpatch-fixes.patch
proc-implement-proc_single_file_operations.patch
proc-rewrite-do_task_stat-to-correctly-handle-pid-namespaces.patch
proc-seqfile-convert-proc_pid_statm.patch
proc-proper-pidns-handling-for-proc-self.patch

And I had to skip a couple of patches due to conflicts.

I'll see if it happens on any of my test machines.
