net: add networking namespace refcount tracker
We have 100+ syzbot reports about netns being dismantled too soon, still unresolved as of today. We think a missing get_net() or an extra put_net() is the root cause. In order to find the bug(s), and be able to spot future ones, this patch adds CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and new helpers to precisely pair all put_net() with corresponding get_net(). To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount should also use a "netns_tracker" to pair the get and put.
