Subject: [PATCH net-next 17/43] netfilter: use forward declaration instead of including linux/proc_fs.h

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>

We don't need to pull the full definitions in that file, a simple forward
declaration is enough.

Moreover, include linux/procfs.h from nf_synproxy_core, otherwise this hits a
compilation error due to missing declarations, ie.

net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c: In function ‘synproxy_proc_init’:
net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c:326:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘proc_create’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  if (!proc_create("synproxy", S_IRUGO, net->proc_net_stat,
  ^
