Wouldn't a more generic solution be to add a flag to sock_create_kern() so that it acquires a reference to the namespace? This could be a bit on one of the existing parameters - like SOCK_NONBLOCK. I've a driver that uses __sock_create() in order to get that reference. I'm pretty sure the extra 'security' check will never fail.
