Subject: [PATCH 03/17] proc/self: use generic_readlink

This will also allow us to move the generic readlink logic into the VFS and
get rid of the readlink method.

The /proc/self and /proc/self-thread symlinks have separate but identical
functionality for reading and following.  This cleanup utilizes
generic_readlink to remove the duplication.
