This kernel panic appears with CONFIG_NET_NS=y.

How to reproduce ?

    On the buggy host (host A)
       * ip addr add 1.2.3.4/24 dev eth0

    On a remote host (host B)
       * ip addr add 1.2.3.5/24 dev eth0
       * iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4 -j DROP
       * ssh 1.2.3.4

    On host A:
       * netstat -ta or cat /proc/net/tcp

This bug happens when reading /proc/net/tcp[6] when there is a req_sock
at the SYN_RECV state.

When a SYN is received the minisock is created and the sk field is set to
NULL. In the listening_get_next function, we try to look at the field 
req->sk->sk_net.

When looking at how to fix this bug, I noticed that is useless to do
the check for the minisock belonging to the namespace. A minisock belongs
to a listen point and this one is per namespace, so when browsing the
minisock they are always per namespace.
