Subject: [PATCH 5.11 219/329] fs/proc/generic.c: fix incorrect pde_is_permanent check

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

[ Upstream commit f4bf74d82915708208bc9d0c9bd3f769f56bfbec ]

Currently the pde_is_permanent() check is being run on root multiple times
rather than on the next proc directory entry.  This looks like a
copy-paste error.  Fix this by replacing root with next.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Copy-paste error")

Fixes: d919b33dafb3 ("proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files")
