Could we hit this situation when we're removing the last peer (so
detaching its socket) just as we're adding a new one? ovpn_socket_new
finds the socket already attached and goes through the EALREADY path,
but the refcount has already dropped to 0?
Then we'd also return NULL from ovpn_socket_new [1], which I don't
think is handled well by the caller (at least the netdev_dbg call at
the end of ovpn_nl_peer_modify, maybe other spots too).
(I guess it's not an issue you would see with the existing userspace
if it's single-threaded)

[1] so we would need to add

[I have some more nits/typos here and there but I worry the
maintainers will get "slightly" annoyed if I make you repost 22
patches once again :) -- if that's all I find in the next few days,
everyone might be happier if I stash them and we get them fixed after
merging?]
