[PATCH] netns: Delete virtual interfaces during namespace cleanup

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

When physical devices are inside of network namespace and that network
namespace terminates we have to keep them and moving them to the
initial network namespace is the best we can do.

For virtual devices left in a network namespace that is exiting
we have no need to preserve them and we now have the infrastructure
that allows us to delete them.  So delete virtual devices when we
exit a network namespace.  Keeping the necessary user space clean up
after a network namespace exits much more tractable.
