tipc_topsrv_stop() is called also at net namespace destruction time:

static void __net_exit tipc_exit_net(struct net *net)
{
	tipc_topsrv_stop(net);
#...

I *think* the following should fix the issue, but I'm unsure if it's
safe.

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git master
