"netns: oops in ip[6]_frag_reasm incrementing stats" does not look likely.

There is no real ipv6 traffic currently on the our network and the panic
is definitely in inet_twdr_do_twkill_work.

Further we are getting the net of a timewait socket.  So I don't see how
a problem with NULL devs could have anything to do with it.

I really suspect the purge code is not being successful.

Eric
