The reference needs to keep the instance memory around, but also
the instance lock must remain valid. Users will take the lock,
check registration status and release the lock. mutex_destroy()
etc. belong in the same place as the freeing of the memory.
Unfortunately lockdep_unregister_key() sleeps so we need
to switch the an rcu_work.
Note that the problem is a bit hard to repro, because
devlink_pernet_pre_exit() iterates over registered instances.
AFAIU the instances must get devlink_free()d concurrently with
the namespace getting deleted for the problem to occur.
