Alexey Dobriyan 2d3a4e3666 proc: fix ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip
Typical PDE creation code looks like:

	pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
	if (pde)
		pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;

Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
   possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).

The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:

	pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
	if (!pde)
		return -ENOMEM;

Fix most networking users for a start.

In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.
