The inode allocation is supposed to use alloc_inode_sb(), so convert
kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().

<title>fs: proc: store PDE()-&gt;data into inode-&gt;i_private</title>

PDE_DATA(inode) is introduced to get user private data and hide the
layout of struct proc_dir_entry.  The inode-&gt;i_private is used to do the
same thing as well.  Save a copy of user private data to inode-&gt;
i_private when proc inode is allocated.  This means the user also can
get their private data by inode-&gt;i_private.

Introduce pde_data() to wrap inode-&gt;i_private so that we can remove
PDE_DATA() from fs/proc/generic.c and make PTE_DATE() as a wrapper of
pde_data().  It will be easier if we decide to remove PDE_DATE() in the
future.

Two checks in lookup and readdir code should be enough to not have third
check in open code.

<title>proc: mandate -&gt;proc_lseek in "struct proc_ops"</title>

Now that proc_ops are separate from file_operations and other operations
it easy to check all instances to have -&gt;proc_lseek hook and remove check
in main code.

Note:
nonseekable_open() files naturally don't require -&gt;proc_lseek.

Garbage collect pde_lseek() function.

<title>proc: Use new_inode not new_inode_pseudo</title>

Recently syzbot reported that unmounting proc when there is an ongoing
inotify watch on the root directory of proc could result in a use
after free when the watch is removed after the unmount of proc
when the watcher exits.

Commit 69879c01a0c3 ("proc: Remove the now unnecessary internal mount
of proc") made it easier to unmount proc and allowed syzbot to see the
problem, but looking at the code it has been around for a long time.

Looking at the code the fsnotify watch should have been removed by
fsnotify_sb_delete in generic_shutdown_super.  Unfortunately the inode
was allocated with new_inode_pseudo instead of new_inode so the inode
was not on the sb-&gt;s_inodes list.  Which prevented
fsnotify_unmount_inodes from finding the inode and removing the watch
as well as made it so the "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount" warning
could not find the inodes to warn about them.

Make all of the inodes in proc visible to generic_shutdown_super,
and fsnotify_sb_delete by using new_inode instead of new_inode_pseudo.
The only functional difference is that new_inode places the inodes
on the sb-&gt;s_inodes list.

I wrote a small test program and I can verify that without changes it
can trigger this issue, and by replacing new_inode_pseudo with
new_inode the issues goes away.
