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().

[wangzijie1@honor.com: stash pde->proc_ops in a local const variable, per Christian]
