Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 12/30] netfs: Only create /proc/fs/netfs with CONFIG_PROC_FS

From: Song Liu <song@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 40cb48eba3b4b79e110c1a35d33a48cac54507a2 ]

When testing a special config:

CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORTS=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=n

The system crashes with something like:

This is caused by the following error path in netfs_init():

        if (!proc_mkdir("fs/netfs", NULL))
                goto error_proc;

Fix this by adding ifdef in netfs_main(), so that /proc/fs/netfs is only
created with CONFIG_PROC_FS.
