[NET]: Make netns cleanup to run in a separate queue
This patch adds a separate workqueue for cleaning up a network namespace. If we use the keventd workqueue to execute cleanup_net(), there is a problem to unregister devices in IPv6. Indeed the code that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net() hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.
