Since net could be obtained from RCU lists,
and there is a race with net destruction,
the patch converts net::count to refcount_t.

This provides sanity checks for the cases of
incrementing counter of already dead net,
when maybe_get_net() has to used instead
of get_net().

Drivers: allyesconfig and allmodconfig are OK.

Is this patch targeting net or net-next tree ?

I did it on top of net-next.git

Thanks for doing that Kirill
