I hate wext :)

It may seem strange that the fix for a lock cycle across multiple
subsystems lies in a completely unrelated part of the code, but this
seemed the most justified lock cycle edge to break.

Yeah, seems fair. Finally a good reason for my ~17 year old commit to
have the wext events per netns? Today I'd probably have rejected it as
useless churn ;-)

LGTM.
