proc: introduce proc_create_data to setup de->data

This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in
the most part of the kernel code.  The original OOPS is described in the
commit 2d3a4e3666325a9709cc8ea2e88151394e8f20fc:

    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.

In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from
proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above.

create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method
is also simply better.

This patch:

The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops.  Right now PDE becomes visible
without data set.  So, the entry could be looked up without data.  This, in
most cases, will simply OOPS.

proc_create_data call is created to address this issue.  proc_create now
becomes a wrapper around it.
