ext4: remove /proc tuning knobs

Browse source 
Remove tuning knobs in /proc/fs/ext4/<dev/* since they have been
replaced by knobs in sysfs at /sys/fs/ext4/<dev>/*.

mb_groups details of multiblock allocator buddy cache of free blocks
mb_history multiblock allocation history
stats controls whether the multiblock allocator should start
collecting statistics, which are shown during the unmount
group_prealloc the multiblock allocator will round up allocation
requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if the
stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock
max_to_scan The maximum number of extents the multiblock allocator
will search to find the best extent
min_to_scan The minimum number of extents the multiblock allocator
will search to find the best extent
order2_req Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size for
requests (as a power of 2) where the buddy cache is
used
stream_req Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
block group specific preallocation pool, so that small
files are packed closely together. Each large file
will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
preallocation pool.
inode_readahead Tuning parameter which controls the maximum number of
inode table blocks that ext4's inode table readahead
algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache
