[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.
