From: Kyle McMartin <redacted>
This only seems to show up when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled. (Reproduced on
git HEAD with that option on, doesn't occur with the option off.)
I will confess complete ignorance to the network stack, but this patch
fixes things... ipv4 seems to have the same namespace support, but
increments the sock_net, not the twsk_net.
I'll probably put this patch into Fedora, if only to prevent this from
being used as a local DoS by an unprivileged user.
