When remove TIPC module, there is a warning to remind us that a slab
object is leaked like:
root@localhost:~# rmmod tipc
[ 19.056226] =============================================================================
[ 19.057549] BUG TIPC (Not tainted): Objects remaining in TIPC on kmem_cache_close()
[ 19.058736] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 19.058736]
[ 19.060287] INFO: Slab 0xffffea0000519a00 objects=23 used=1 fp=0xffff880014668b00 flags=0x100000000004080

[ 19.062717] kmem_cache_destroy TIPC: Slab cache still has objects
This is because the listening socket of TIPC topology server is not
closed before TIPC proto handler is unregistered with proto_unregister().
However, as the socket is closed in tipc_exit_net() which is called by
unregister_pernet_subsys() during unregistering TIPC namespace operation,
the warning can be eliminated if calling unregister_pernet_subsys() is
moved before calling proto_unregister().
Fixes: 59342f30c289 ("tipc: make tipc socket support net namespace")
