This code was broken from day one.  Prior to netns this policy
fini function didn't exist.

With netns, somehow it wants to get rid of all xfrm policies.
However, it's not doing a very good job at it because it only
deletes the global policies, and not the socket policies.

Therefore this is completely expected to fail.

Do we have a netns maintainer? What is this supposed to do?

Cheers,
