From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6a33d8b73dfac0a41f3877894b38082bd0c9a5bc upstream. Netlink event path is missing a synchronization point with GC transactions. Add GC sequence number update to netns release path and netlink event path, any GC transaction losing race will be discarded.
