Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] rds: tcp: correctly sequence cleanup on netns deletion.

Commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit refcounts on struct net")
introduces a regression in rds-tcp netns cleanup. The cleanup_net(),
(and thus rds_tcp_dev_event notification) is only called from put_net()
when all netns refcounts go to 0, but this cannot happen if the
rds_connection itself is holding a c_net ref that it expects to
release in rds_tcp_kill_sock.

Instead, the rds_tcp_kill_sock callback should make sure to
tear down state carefully, ensuring that the socket teardown
is only done after all data-structures and workqs that depend
on it are quiesced.

The original motivation for commit 8edc3affc077 ("rds: tcp: Take explicit
refcounts on struct net") was to resolve a race condition reported by
syzkaller where workqs for tx/rx/connect were triggered after the
namespace was deleted. Those worker threads should have been
cancelled/flushed before socket tear-down and indeed,
rds_conn_path_destroy() does try to sequence this by doing
     /* cancel cp_send_w */
     /* cancel cp_recv_w */
     /* flush cp_down_w */
     /* free data structures */
Here the "flush cp_down_w" will trigger rds_conn_shutdown and thus
invoke rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown() to close the tcp socket, so that
we ought to have satisfied the requirement that "socket-close is
done after all other dependent state is quiesced". However,
rds_conn_shutdown has a bug in that it *always* triggers the reconnect
workq (and if connection is successful, we always restart tx/rx
workqs so with the right timing, we risk the race conditions reported
by syzkaller).

Netns deletion is like module teardown- no need to restart a
reconnect in this case. We can use the c_destroy_in_prog bit
to avoid restarting the reconnect.
