Eric Dumazet is reporting addition on 0 problem at rds_tcp_tune(), for
delayed works queued in rds_wq might be invoked after a net namespace's
refcount already reached 0.

Since rds_tcp_exit_net() from cleanup_net() calls flush_workqueue(rds_wq),
it is guaranteed that we can instead use maybe_get_net() from delayed work
functions until rds_tcp_exit_net() returns.

Note that I'm not convinced that all works which might access a net
namespace are already queued in rds_wq by the moment rds_tcp_exit_net()
calls flush_workqueue(rds_wq). If some race is there, rds_tcp_exit_net()
will fail to wait for work functions, and kmem_cache_free() could be
called from net_free() before maybe_get_net() is called from
rds_tcp_tune().
