Subject: net: assign PDE->data before gluing PDE into /proc tree
From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@xxxxxxxxxx>
Simply replace proc_create and further data assigned with proc_create_data.
Additionally, there is no need to assign NULL to PDE->data after creation,
/proc generic has already done this for us.
