Subject: [PATCH]: af_key procfs OOPS fix


FYI, I just checked in the following bug fix.  My workstation would
OOPS every time I'd restart openswan because of this.

commit d9595a7b9c777d45a74774f1428c263a0a47f4c0
Author: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

    [AF_KEY]: Fix oops by converting to proc_net_*().
    
    To make sure the procfs visibility occurs after the ->proc_fs ops are
    setup, use proc_net_fops_create() and proc_net_remove().
    
    This also fixes an OOPS after module unload in that the name string
    for remove was wrong, so it wouldn't actually be removed.  That bug
    was introduced by commit 61145aa1a12401ac71bcc450a58c773dd6e2bfb9
    ("[KEY]: Clean up proc files creation a bit.")
