Well, i don't like the latter option anyway.

i have no objections enabling NETNS_REFCNT_DEBUG in _debug_ kernels only,
so please send a patch.

The only extra thing: please make it not only print the err message, but also taint kernel,
so our autotests could catch this.

If anybody objects, please let us know.
