Subject: ACPI: Remove Kconfig symbol ACPI_PROCFS

commit 7919010c4224e07b871f3b5513d245cc029fcd67 upstream.

Nothing cares about ACPI_PROCFS. This has been the case since v2.6.38.
This Kconfig symbol serves no purpose and its help text is now
misleading. It can safely be removed. If this symbol would be needed
again in the future it can be readded in a commit that adds code that
actually uses it.
