When attaching a flow dissector program to a network namespace with
bpf(BPF_PROG_ATTACH, ...) we grab a reference to bpf_prog.
If netns gets destroyed while a flow dissector is still attached, and
there
are no other references to the prog, we leak the reference and the program
remains loaded.
Leak can be reproduced by running flow dissector tests from selftests/bpf:
# bpftool prog list
# ./test_flow_dissector.sh
...
selftests: test_flow_dissector [PASS]
# bpftool prog list

Fix it by detaching the flow dissector program when netns is going away.
