[NETNS]: Fix /proc/net breakage
Well I clearly goofed when I added the initial network namespace support
for /proc/net. Currently things work but there are odd details visible to
user space, even when we have a single network namespace.
Since we do not cache proc_dir_entry dentries at the moment we can just
modify ->lookup to return a different directory inode depending on the
network namespace of the process looking at /proc/net, replacing the
current technique of using a magic and fragile follow_link method.
To accomplish that this patch:
- introduces a shadow_proc method to allow different dentries to
be returned from proc_lookup.
- Removes the old /proc/net follow_link magic
- Fixes a weakness in our not caching of proc generic dentries.
As shadow_proc uses a task struct to decided which dentry to return we can
go back later and fix the proc generic caching without modifying any code
that uses the shadow_proc method.
