Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Trying to remove a namespace when another namespace is mounted may fail.
  Upstream discussion here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/240795
  This affects P/Q/R, but is fixed in S.

  [Test Case]
  Run this as root in one terminal:

  ip netns add netns_one
  ip netns add netns_two
  ip link add name if_one type veth peer name if_one_peer
  ip link add name if_two type veth peer name if_two_peer
  ip link set dev if_one_peer netns netns_one
  ip link set dev if_two_peer netns netns_two
  ip netns exec netns_one bash

  Run this as root in another terminal:
  ip netns delete netns_two

  It should pass, but this fails with:
  Cannot remove /var/run/netns/netns_two: Device or resource busy
