Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel: panic_on_warn set …

This is trigger as below:
ns0 ns1
tun_set_iff() //dev is tun0
tun->dev = dev
//ip link set tun0 netns ns1
put_net() //ref is 0
__tun_chr_ioctl() //TUNGETDEVNETNS
net = dev_net(tun->dev);
open_related_ns(&net->ns, get_net_ns); //ns1
get_net_ns()
get_net() //addition on 0

Use maybe_get_net() in get_net_ns in case net’s ref is zero to fix this
