David: it looks like someone registered a /proc/sys table with
register_net_sysctl_table but forgot to remove it (or someone wrote
something in the 'struct net*' and buffer overflowed into
&net->sysctls.list).

Stephen, can you post a `ls -R /proc/sys/net/` from before the dmesg
message appeared?

The check is triggered at network namespace deletion, so a moment
before deleting the netns should be fine.
