proc: remove docbook and example

Example is outdated, it still uses old ->read_proc interfaces and "fb"
example is plain racy.  There are better examples all over the tree.

Docbook itself says almost nothing about /proc and contain quite a number
of simply wrong facts, e.g.  device nodes support.  What it does is
describing at great length interface which are going to be removed.

There are Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.txt in exchange.

-    <para>
-      The <filename class="directory">/proc</filename> file system
-      (procfs) is a special file system in the linux kernel. It's a
-      virtual file system: it is not associated with a block device
-      but exists only in memory. The files in the procfs are there to
-      allow userland programs access to certain information from the
-      kernel (like process information in <filename
-      class="directory">/proc/[0-9]+/</filename>), but also for debug
-      purposes (like <filename>/proc/ksyms</filename>).
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
-      within the Linux kernel. It starts by introducing all relevant
-      functions to manage the files within the file system. After that
-      it shows how to communicate with userland, and some tips and
-      tricks will be pointed out. Finally a complete example will be
-      shown.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      Note that the files in <filename
-      class="directory">/proc/sys</filename> are sysctl files: they
-      don't belong to procfs and are governed by a completely
-      different API described in the Kernel API book.

-    <para>
-      This chapter describes the functions that various kernel
-      components use to populate the procfs with files, symlinks,

-    <para>
-      A minor note before we start: if you want to use any of the

-         When a large number of almost identical files is used, it's
-         quite inconvenient to use a separate call back function for

-         <structfield>data</structfield> field has to be initialised:

-
-      <programlisting>
-struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
-struct my_file_data *file_data;
-
-file_data = kmalloc(sizeof(struct my_file_data), GFP_KERNEL);
-entry->data = file_data;

-     
-      <para>
-          The <structfield>data</structfield> field is a <type>void

-      </para>
-
-      <para>

-        <function>read_proc</function> and
-        <function>write_proc</function> can use it to distinguish
-        between files because they get it passed into their
