Denis Lunev spotted that if we take a reference to the network namespace
with the timewait sockets, we will need to wait for their expiration to
have the network namespace freed. This is a waste of time, the timewait
sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network,
if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no
chance to receive any packets from the outside world.

This patchset remove/destroy the timewait sockets when the
network namespace is freed.

This code is in the wrong place.  Please do the register_net_subsys
thing so we can keep the code in  net/ipv4/inet_timewait_sock.c

This code just need to be an exit method.

Thanks Eric, I will fix that.
