smb: client: Fix netns refcount imbalance causing leaks and use-after-free

Commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client: Fix use-after-free of network namespace.") attempted to fix a netns use-after-free issue by manually adjusting reference counts via sk->sk_net_refcnt and sock_inuse_add().

However, a later commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod") pointed out that the approach of manually setting sk->sk_net_refcnt in the first commit was technically incorrect, as sk->sk_net_refcnt should only be set for user sockets. It led to issues like TCP timers not being cleared properly on close. The second commit moved to a model of just holding an extra netns reference for server->ssocket using get_net(), and dropping it when the server is torn down.

But there remain some gaps in the get_net()/put_net() balancing added by these commits. The incomplete reference handling in these fixes results in two issues:

1. Netns refcount leaks[1]

The problem process is as follows:
