[v2 070/115] sysctl: rename sysctl_head_get/put to sysctl_proc_inode_get/put

From: Lucian Adrian Grijincu <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-08 22:50:08
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), proc filesystem, proc sysctl, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Kees Cook, Joel Granados, Linus Torvalds

Clarify the purpose of those references. No functional changes.
