Subject: [PATCH 08/16] net: Convert tcpv6_net_ops

These pernet_operations create and destroy net::ipv6.tcp_sk
socket, which is used in tcp_v6_send_response() only. It looks
like foreign pernet_operations don't want to set ipv6 connection
inside destroyed net, so this socket may be created in destroyed
in parallel with anything else. inet_twsk_purge() is also safe
for that, as described in patch for tcp_sk_ops. So, it's possible
to mark them as async.
