For me above patch changed slightly the printed output. Now the warning
comes from 'cleanup_net' instead of 'free_user_ns'. My system was also
still responsive after the bug occurred which didn't happen previously.
I can't say if this means anything or if this is result of above patch
or instability of my reproducer.
