Both - workaround first, as most important (and relatively easiest) is
allowing the system to continue to create and destroy net namespaces
once this happens (instead of hanging all further netns init/cleanup
until a system reboot).

Then, I do want to try to add some debug to make it easier to debug a
leaked dst (or other cause).
