Hmm.

I see 3 options going forward.

1) We just make PROC_PIDONLY_ON mean the net directory does not exist.
   No permission checks just always fail.

2) Move the permission checks into opendir/readdir and whichever
   is the appropriate method there and always allow the dentries
   to be cached.

3) Simply cache the mounters credentials and make access to the
   net directories contingent of the permisions of the mounter of
   proc.  Something like the code below.

static struct net *get_proc_task_net(struct inode *dir)
{
	struct task_struct *task;
	struct nsproxy *ns;
	struct net *net = NULL;

	rcu_read_lock();
	task = pid_task(proc_pid(dir), PIDTYPE_PID);
	if (task != NULL) {
		task_lock(task);
		ns = task->nsproxy;
		if (ns != NULL)
			net = get_net(ns->net_ns);
		task_unlock(task);
	}
	rcu_read_unlock();
	if ((fs_info->pidonly == PROC_PIDONLY_ON) &&
            !security_capable(fs_info->mounter_cred,
			      net->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN,
			      CAP_OPT_NONE)) {
		put_net(net);
		net = NULL;
	}
	return net;
}
