[PATCH v2] tun: don't hold network namespace by tun sockets

[Stanislav Kinsbursky]

v2: sk_release_kernel() used for socket release. Dummy tun_release() is
required for sk_release_kernel() ---> sock_release() ---> sock->ops->release()
call.

TUN was designed to destroy it's socket on network namespace shutdown. But this
will never happen for persistent device, because it's socket holds network
namespace.
This patch removes of holding network namespace by TUN socket and replaces it
by creating socket in init_net and then changing it's net it to the desired
one. On shutdown socket is moved back to init_net prior to final put.
