The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
/proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
appropriate task lives in.

# ls -l /proc/net
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Mar  5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net

This broke tools which read /proc/net/dev. Under non-root,
they are no longer working. This is a regression.

I see that this is already reported & fix is in queue.

Sorry for the noise.
