Subject: Fix permissions of /proc/net

commit f205a545ee62e0f0f797c1e2b0bd2062d96414b3
Author: Andre Noll <maan@...go.fml.local>

From: Andre Noll <maan@...temlinux.org>

commit e9720ac ([NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3))
broke ganglia and probably other applications that read /proc/net/dev.

This is due to the change of permissions of /proc/net that was
introduced in that commit.

Before: dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:30 /proc/net
After: dr-xr--r-- 5 root root 0 Mar 19 11:29 /proc/self/net

This patch restores the permissions to the old value which makes ganglia
happy again.
