Since net could be obtained from RCU lists, and there is a race with net destruction, the patch converts net::count to refcount_t. This provides sanity checks for the cases of incrementing counter of already dead net, when maybe_get_net() has to used instead of get_net(). Drivers: allyesconfig and allmodconfig are OK.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
