A client that disappears without sending a FIN or RST can leave its
ksmbd connection in ESTABLISHED indefinitely. ksmbd sets a socket
receive timeout, but the connection receive loop retries timeout errors
without a limit, so the connection remains in conn_list and consumes the
per-IP connection quota.
Enable SO_KEEPALIVE on accepted TCP sockets so the TCP stack can detect a
silent peer failure. The keepalive idle time, interval, and probe count
remain controlled by the existing TCP sysctl settings.

ksmbd creates its listening socket with sock_create_kern(). Kernel
sockets do not hold a network namespace reference by default. Accepted
sockets inherit this state.
When an accepted socket is released, tcp_close() clears its pending TCP
timers for a kernel socket after the socket enters an orphaned state. If
the peer is unreachable while ksmbd sends a FIN, this can leave a
FIN-WAIT-1 orphan without a retransmission timer.
Upgrade the listening socket's network namespace reference before
kernel_listen(). Accepted sockets inherit the reference, so the TCP
stack can keep the retransmission timer active and apply its normal
orphan retry policy.
Preserve the existing graceful shutdown behavior.

The DES crypto header is no longer used after the removal of NTLMv1
authentication. Remove it now that the server no longer selects
CRYPTO_LIB_DES.
