[Bug 1322897] [NEW] syslog spam Failed to get vmstats.

[Patrick Domack]

Public bug reported:

open-vm-tools spams syslog every 30seconds with:

[warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats.


This is cause of the procfs disable on the configure line.
This has been fixed upstream in debian, but hasn't been adjusted yet in ubuntu.

Fix is to remove the --disable-procfs configure option, and to add
libprocps-dev to control deps.
