Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] wireguard fixes for 5.8-rc3

Hi Dave,

This series contains two fixes, one cosmetic and one quite important:

1) Avoid the `if ((x = f()) == y)` pattern, from Frank
   Werner-Krippendorf.

2) Mitigate a potential memory leak by creating circular netns
   references, while also making the netns semantics a bit more
   robust.

Patch (2) has a "Fixes:" line and should be backported to stable.

Thanks,
Jason
