    openvswitch: Fix net exit. · 7b4577a9

    Open vSwitch allows moving internal vport to different namespace
    while still connected to the bridge. But when namespace deleted
    OVS does not detach these vports, that results in dangling
    pointer to netdevice which causes kernel panic as follows.
    This issue is fixed by detaching all ovs ports from the deleted
    namespace at net-exit.
