Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] net: Add BUG_ON() to get_net()

Since people may mistakenly obtain destroying net
from net_namespace_list and from net::netns_ids
without checking for its net::counter, let's protect
against such situations and insert BUG_ON() to stop
move on after this.

Panic is better, than memory corruption and undefined
behavior.
