But sometimes a device in that namespace is still being removed and tries to send a uevent through that socket. The socket is already freed, so KASAN reports a use-after-free. This patch attempts the fix of taking a lock around both the send path and the free path, and clear the pointer before freeing so nobody uses it after free.
