Al Viro a685e08987 Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
	* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.
