[NET]: Make netns cleanup to run in a separate queue
This patch adds a separate workqueue for cleaning up a network
namespace. If we use the keventd workqueue to execute cleanup_net(),
there is a problem to unregister devices in IPv6. Indeed the code
that cleans up also schedule work in keventd: as long as cleanup_net()
hasn't return, dst_gc_task() cannot run and as long as dst_gc_task() has
not run, there are still some references pending on the net devices and
cleanup_net() can not unregister and exit the keventd workqueue.
