fs/proc: Don't lock root inode when creating "self" and "thread-self"
proc_setup_self() and proc_setup_thread_self() are only called from
proc_fill_super() which is before the filesystem is "live".  So there is
no need to lock the root directory when adding "self" and "thread-self".
This is clear from simple_fill_super() which provides similar
functionality for other filesystems and does not lock anything.

The locking is not harmful, except that it may be confusing to a reader.
As part of an effort to centralise all locking for directories for
name-based operations (prior to changing some locking rules), it is
simplest to remove the locking here.
