Shen Feng 760df93ecd documentation: update Documentation/filesystem/proc.txt and Documentation/sysctls
Now /proc/sys is described in many places and much information is
redundant.  This patch updates the proc.txt and move the /proc/sys
desciption out to the files in Documentation/sysctls.

Details are:

merge
-  2.1  /proc/sys/fs - File system data
-  2.11 /proc/sys/fs/mqueue - POSIX message queues filesystem
-  2.17 /proc/sys/fs/epoll - Configuration options for the epoll interface
with Documentation/sysctls/fs.txt.

remove
-  2.2  /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc - Miscellaneous binary formats
since it's not better then the Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt.

merge
-  2.3  /proc/sys/kernel - general kernel parameters
with Documentation/sysctls/kernel.txt

remove
-  2.5  /proc/sys/dev - Device specific parameters
since it's obsolete the sysfs is used now.

remove
-  2.6  /proc/sys/sunrpc - Remote procedure calls
since it's not better then the Documentation/sysctls/sunrpc.txt

move
-  2.7  /proc/sys/net - Networking stuff
-  2.9  Appletalk
-  2.10 IPX
to newly created Documentation/sysctls/net.txt.

remove
-  2.8  /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
since it's not better then the Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt.

add
- Chapter 3 Per-Process Parameters
to descibe /proc/<pid>/xxx parameters.
