Do you mean splitting this patch into per-subsystem patches
within the same series or sending non-netdev patches separately ?

The former is fine, but I think this change should be done in
the same series as the main goal of the series is the changes
in this patch, making kernel TCP sockets hold netns ref in a
single place.
