[LU-2376] Need a sanity check to ensure readable proc files are readable

Description

Lustre proc has gotten a little out of whack (see LU-2358, LU-2359, LU-2360, LU-2263). It seems worthwhile to add something like the following to sanity:

for dir in /proc/{fs/{lustre,ldiskfs},sys/{lustre,lnet}} ...; do
  if [ -d $dir ]; then
    find $dir -type f -readable -print -exec cat {} \; > /dev/null
  fi
done

It would be even better if the test failed when one of the reads returned an error. Of course before such a test can be landed the four issues listed above need to be addressed.

Also we should check for broken symlinks.

Also we should not test for readable, but just try to cat every regular file.

A test that excludes req_history and fldb has been attached to http://review.whamcloud.com/5234.

Landed with LU-2724.
