[PATCH 5.12 237/363] fs/proc/generic.c: fix incorrect pde_is_permanent check

[ Upstream commit f4bf74d82915708208bc9d0c9bd3f769f56bfbec ]

Currently the pde_is_permanent() check is being run on root multiple times
rather than on the next proc directory entry. This looks like a
copy-paste error. Fix this by replacing root with next.
