Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: fix fan module removal when ACPI_PROCFS is disabled

When ACPI_PROCFS is disabled, /proc/acpi/fan/ directory is not created.
So, it should not be removed during the module removal either.

Yes, this patch would make the #ifdefs consistent.
But it looks like remove_proc_entry() just silently does nothing
if the directory is not there, yes?

What I'd really like to see is a patch removing fan.c's proc code
completely. It was scheduld for removal in July 2008.

No, I get a WARNING right now. That's why I hit the problem, I've just
randomly removed fan.

Well, no config for "old fan /proc files"? Simply drop it? If that's OK,
I'll gladly submit another patch.
