Subject: [PATCH 2/7] proc: Implement support for automounts in task directories


This is a genearl mechanism that is capable of removing
any unused mounts on /proc in any directory.  As we flush
the mounts when a processes dies this mechanism is tailored
for flushing mounts in the per task and per task group
directories.
