[NETNS]: Double free in netlink_release.
Netlink protocol table is global for all namespaces. Some netlink protocols have been virtualized, i.e. they have per/namespace netlink socket. This difference can easily lead to double free if more than 1 namespace is started. Count the number of kernel netlink sockets to track that this table is not used any more. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
