library: refactor flawed function fatal_proc_unmounted 

This commit addresses a potentially disastrous flaw in
that fatal_proc_unmounted() function wherein requested
item(s) might not have been returned to the caller yet
were specified at the time of a 'new' or 'reset' call.

The root cause, uncovered by Craig, was due to the old
library look_up_our_self() support function which only
would populate a proc_t with limited 'stat' file data.

This routine will now act the same as all other <pids>
functions which return a stack or stacks. Whatever was
specified with a 'new' or 'reset' will be returned, if
the passed 'return_self' parameter is other than zero.

[ as is so often the case, when flawed code is fixed ]
[ former complexity can be reduced as a side benefit ]
