From: Daniel Lezcano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Denis Lunev spotted that if we take a reference to the network namespace
with the timewait sockets, we will need to wait for their expiration to
have the network namespace freed. This is a waste of time, the timewait
sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network,
if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no
chance to receive any packets from the outside world.
This patchset remove/destroy the timewait sockets when the
network namespace is freed.
