Before, we took a reference to the creating netns if the new netns was
different. This caused issues with circular references, with two
wireguard interfaces swapping namespaces. The solution is to rather not
take any extra references at all, but instead simply invalidate the
creating netns pointer when that netns is deleted.
In order to prevent this from happening again, this commit improves the
rough object leak tracking by allowing it to account for created and
destroyed interfaces, aside from just peers and keys. That then makes it
possible to check for the object leak when having two interfaces take a
reference to each others' namespaces.

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.
