Ying Xue 76100a8a64 tipc: fix netns refcnt leak
When the TIPC module is loaded, we launch a topology server in kernel
space, which in its turn is creating TIPC sockets for communication
with topology server users. Because both the socket's creator and
provider reside in the same module, it is necessary that the TIPC
module's reference count remains zero after the server is started and
the socket created; otherwise it becomes impossible to perform "rmmod"
even on an idle module.

Currently, we achieve this by defining a separate "tipc_proto_kern"
protocol struct, that is used only for kernel space socket allocations.
This structure has the "owner" field set to NULL, which restricts the
module reference count from being be bumped when sk_alloc() for local
sockets is called. Furthermore, we have defined three kernel-specific
functions, tipc_sock_create_local(), tipc_sock_release_local() and
tipc_sock_accept_local(), to avoid the module counter being modified
when module local sockets are created or deleted. This has worked well
until we introduced name space support.

However, after name space support was introduced, we have observed that
a reference count leak occurs, because the netns counter is not
decremented in tipc_sock_delete_local().

This commit remedies this problem. But instead of just modifying
tipc_sock_delete_local(), we eliminate the whole parallel socket
handling infrastructure, and start using the regular sk_create_kern(),
kernel_accept() and sk_release_kernel() calls. Since those functions
manipulate the module counter, we must now compensate for that by
explicitly decrementing the counter after module local sockets are
created, and increment it just before calling sk_release_kernel().
