This patch switches away from {Nonnull,}LockRefPtr to the non-locking
smart pointers throughout the kernel.
I've looked at the handful of places where these were being persisted
and I don't see any race situations.
Note that the process file descriptor table (Process::m_fds) was already
guarded via MutexProtected.
Since the ProcFS doesn't hold many global objects within it, the need
for a fully-structured design of backing components and a registry like
with the SysFS is no longer true.
To acommodate this, let's remove all backing store and components of the
ProcFS, so now it resembles what we had in the early days of ProcFS in
the project - a mostly-static filesystem, with very small amount of
kmalloc allocations needed.
We still use the inode index mechanism to understand the role of each
inode, but this is done in a much "static"ier way than before.
