Currently, the inetdev_destroy() function waits for an RCU grace period before decrementing the refcount and freeing memory. This causes a delay with a new RCU configuration that tries to save power, which results in the network interface disappearing later than expected. The resulting delay causes test failures on ChromeOS. Refactor the code such that the refcount is freed before the grace period and memory is freed after. With this a ChromeOS network test passes that does 'ip netns del' and polls for an interface disappearing, now passes.

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.
