After the introduce of 5ce2dced8e95 ("RDMA/ipoib: Set rtnl_link_ops for
ipoib interfaces"), If the IPoIB device is moved to non-initial netns,
destroying that netns lets the device vanish instead of moving it back
to the initial netns, This is happening because default_device_exit()
skips the interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set.
Steps to reporoduce:
ip netns add foo
ip link set mlx5_ib0 netns foo
ip netns delete foo

To avoid the above warning and later on the kernel panic that could
happen on shutdown due to a null pointer dereference, Make sure to set
the netns_refund flag that was introduced by [1] to properly restore
the IPoIB interfaces to the initial netns.
