[PATCH v3] proc: fix missing pde_set_flags() for net proc files

[wangzijie <wangzijie1@honor.com>]

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().

Fixes: ff7ec8dc1b64 ("proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al")

v3:
- followed by Christian's suggestion to stash pde->proc_ops in a local const variable
v2:
- followed by Jiri's suggestion to refractor code and reformat commit message
