Since you add this per-net uevent_sock pointer, currently existing iterations in uevent_net_exit()
become to look confusing. There are:

        mutex_lock(&uevent_sock_mutex);
        list_for_each_entry(ue_sk, &uevent_sock_list, list) {
                if (sock_net(ue_sk->sk) == net)
                        goto found;
        }

Can't we make a small cleanup in lib/kobject_uevent.c after this change
and before the main part of the patch goes?

18446744073709551615 -- 20 chars (+1 '\0'). Comment makes me think
we forgot +1 in buf declaration.

Commit 7b60a18da393 from Andrew Vagin says:

    uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)
    
    The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
    ordered.
    
    Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
    than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
    contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.
    
    This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.
    Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin <avagin@...nvz.org>

After this change the order will be lost. Also the rest of namespaces
will have holes in uevent numbers, as they won't receive a number sent
to specific namespace.

It seems we should made uevent_seqnum per-net to solve this problem.
