[2.4 patch] remove obsolete disk statistics header from /proc/partitions

[Adrian Bunk]

ChangeSet 1.579 removes the disk statistics in /proc/partitions.

But the header line is still present:

<--  snip  -->

# cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name     rio rmerge rsect ruse wio wmerge wsect wuse
running use aveq

  22    64   20039544 hdd
  22    65   20039512 hdd1
   3     0   20010312 hda

I suggest the following patch to remove it:

--- drivers/block/genhd.c.old	Thu Jul  4 20:32:35 2002

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
