VFS: Report file size for deleted files in /proc

It's useful to know how big deleted files are, in case a file system
is filled up unexpectedly and the admin wants to track down which
process is the culprit. This patch reports the file size 
in addition to (deleted) for /proc/*/fd links.

This modifies a public interface, but it's reasonable to assume
that noone relies on the particular format here.
