Merge tag 'v6.6-fs.proc.uapi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull procfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since
  commit 6d76fa58b050 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files").

  Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a89 ("procfs: fix pthread
  cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
  mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed.

  Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are
  blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently
  allowed.

  Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper
  which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull
  request.

  This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net
  for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot
  of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything
  anway.

  Both changes are minor user-visible changes. It is however very
  unlikely that mode changes on proc/<pid>/net and
  /proc/thread-self/comm are something that userspace relies on"
