[Devel] [PATCH 2.6.25] [ATM] Oops reading net/atm/arp

[Denis V. Lunev]

cat /proc/net/atm/arp causes the NULL pointer dereference in the
get_proc_net+0xc/0x3a. This happens as proc_get_net believes that the
parent proc dir entry contains struct net.

Fix this assumption for "net/atm" case.

The problem is introduced by the commit c0097b07abf5f92ab135d024dd41bd2aada1512f
from Eric W. Biederman/Daniel Lezcano.
