[PATCH] kobject: fix uevent socket use-after-free on net namespace delete

[Adarsh Das]

When a network namespace is deleted, we free its uevent socket. But
sometimes a device in that namespace is still being removed and tries to
send a uevent through that socket. The socket is already freed, so KASAN
reports a use-after-free.

This patch attempts the fix of taking a lock around both the send path
and the free path, and clear the pointer before freeing so nobody uses
it after free.
