Then why do we need to do _anything_ with ->ns[...]?  Is there any problem
with postponing actual freeing of that sucker until after umount, so that
memory doesn't get reused?  Since everything stale should be gone by the
point when sysfs_exit_ns() would put NULL into ->ns[...], we can as well
keep the old pointer in there - it won't match anything else for as long
as the struct net is not freed...
