        May be it is better to unlink and free the pd here
if init_netns fails. Currently, protocols attach only
allocated pointer (pd->timeout_table) and it is not a
big problem to call exit_netns on failure but lets do
it safely, every init handler should release its data on
failure and then we should not call exit_netns.

        Patch 1 looks ok and I'll ack it next time.

Regards
