Dear Walter,
thank you for feedback, I'll do it next time.

Changes was listed in cover letter, that was not not submitted into linux-ppp@ list

"This patch set checks that lists initialized in net_init hooks were
return to initial state at end of net_exit hooks.

I hope such checks allows to detect leaked per-netns objects.
Also I hope that all new pernet_operations will inherit such checks too.

I assume that elements added into per-net lists should not live longer than net namespace,
and should be deleted from the list. I think exit_net hook is good place for such check.

Recently I've found lost list_entry and enabled timer on stop of net namespace.
Then I've reviewed all existing pernet_operations and found that many drivers
have such checks already. So I decided to complete this task and add such checks
into all affected subsystems.

v3:
- use net->ns.inum as net Id
- removed patches for hashlimit and recent,
    they handle tables list in exit_net hook.
- added patches for grace and lockd

v2:
- net pointer removed from output
- fixed compilation for phonet driver
