    [NETNS]: Namespace stop vs 'ip r l' race. · 775516bf
    Denis V. Lunev authored
    During network namespace stop process kernel side netlink sockets
    belonging to a namespace should be closed. They should not prevent
    namespace to stop, so they do not increment namespace usage
    counter. Though this counter will be put during last sock_put.
    
    The raplacement of the correct netns for init_ns solves the problem
    only partial as socket to be stoped until proper stop is a valid
    netlink kernel socket and can be looked up by the user processes. This
    is not a problem until it resides in initial namespace (no processes
    inside this net), but this is not true for init_net.
    
    So, hold the referrence for a socket, remove it from lookup tables and
    only after that change namespace and perform a last put.
