proc: fix missing pde_set_flags() for net proc files
To avoid potential UAF issues during module removal races, we use
pde_set_flags() to save proc_ops flags in PDE itself before
proc_register(), and then use pde_has_proc_*() helpers instead of directly
dereferencing pde->proc_ops->*.
However, the pde_set_flags() call was missing when creating net related
proc files. This omission caused incorrect behavior which FMODE_LSEEK was
being cleared inappropriately in proc_reg_open() for net proc files. Lars
reported it in this link[1].
Fix this by ensuring pde_set_flags() is called when register proc entry,
and add NULL check for proc_ops in pde_set_flags().
