Subject: [PATCH 4.11 066/197] proc: Fix unbalanced hard link numbers
4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>
commit d66bb1607e2d8d384e53f3d93db5c18483c8c4f7 upstream.
proc_create_mount_point() forgot to increase the parent's nlink, and
it resulted in unbalanced hard link numbers, e.g. /proc/fs shows one
less than expected.
Fixes: eb6d38d5427b ("proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories...")
