A network namespace has been removed while a ppp_async channel was
still registered in it. Then, unregistering this channel triggered the
bug because ppp_unregister_channel() tried to access its per-netns data
in the defunct namespace.

This scenario can happen at least with ppp_async and ppp_synctty, where
the userspace program and the PPP channel it handles can leave in
separate namespaces.

Thanks for the report, I can reproduce the bug and will work on a fix.
