Subject: [PATCH] proc: calculate the correct /proc/<pid> link count

commit e9720acd728a46cb40daa52c99a979f7c4ff195c introduced a
/proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding link count
for /proc/self.

This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call
that counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry
table whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of
manually keeping the two in sync.
