Let procfs own the seq_file for all of them. For the network namespace variants ->proc_open() and ->proc_release() keep taking and dropping the reference to the network namespace. That's most of /proc/net, among them the files of xt_hashlimit and /proc/net/dev_snmp6/. A reader that faults on its buffer no longer holds up their removal.
