netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice notifier. In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys. But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless. I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the addrconf cleanup function. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
