I think it's wrong. Now if someone mounts a fully visible procfs then they
can see this directory. Hiding this directory completely will change the
current behavior.

At first I did so, but then I transferred this check to get_proc_task_net
because if this function does not return anything, then 'net' directory
will exist but will simply be empty.

This allowed us to get rid of unnecessary wrappers for opendir/lookup.

Interesting idea. I like that :)

Is this check necessary? I mean, isn't it worth extending this check to
other cases?
