As pointed out during review, currently the following set of commands
crashes the kernel:
$ ip netns add ns0
$ ip link set swp0 netns ns0
$ ip netns del ns0

unregister_netdevice: waiting for swp0 to become free. Usage count = 2
This is because since DSA user ports, since they started populating
dev->rtnl_link_ops in the blamed commit, gained a different treatment
from default_device_exit_net(), which thinks these interfaces can now be
unregistered.
They can't; so set netns_refund = true to restore the behavior prior to
populating dev->rtnl_link_ops.
Fixes: 95f510d0b792 ("net: dsa: allow the DSA master to be seen and changed through rtnetlink")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
