I have a better patch for the same problem in the works. Before you
consider this hack please wait for my patch (I actually didn't plan
to submit it because of code freeze, but before that hack gets in it is better
to have a clean solution)

The clean solution is to implement NETDEV_REBOOT for inetaddr_chain
and make TCP react to it by calling tcp_reset().
