Subject: [PATCH 21/24] net: Export get_proc_net() [ver #7]

Export get_proc_net() so that write() routines attached to net-namespaced
proc files can find the network namespace that they're in.  Currently, this
is only accessible via seqfile routines.

This will permit AFS to have a separate cell database per-network namespace
and to manage each one independently of the others.
