From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: proc: fix dentry/inode overinstantiating under /proc/${pid}/net
When a process exits, /proc/${pid}, and /proc/${pid}/net dentries are
flushed. However some leaf dentries like /proc/${pid}/net/arp_cache
aren't. That's because respective PDEs have proc_misc_d_revalidate() hook
which returns 1 and leaves dentries/inodes in the LRU.
Force revalidation/lookup on everything under /proc/${pid}/net by
inheriting proc_net_dentry_ops.

Fixes: c6c75deda813 ("proc: fix lookup in /proc/net subdirectories after setns(2)")
