Implement lookup for . and ..
* procfs.c (procfs_lookup): Keep track of the parent directory, implement the lookup of the dot-directories. (procfs_cleanup): Release the reference to the parent node, if applicable. * procfs.h: Add a comment about the parent reference. * netfs.c (netfs_attempt_lookup): Lock the looked up node after the directory has been unlocked, in case they are the same.
