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

This reverts commit 4e7f164.

The commit e9f2517 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after
rmmod") is not only a bogus fix for LOCKDEP null-ptr-deref but also
introduces a real issue, TCP sockets leak, which will be explained in
detail in the next revert.

Also, CNA assigned CVE-2024-54680 to it but is rejecting it. [0]

Thus, we are reverting the commit and its follow-up commit 4e7f164
("smb: client: Fix netns refcount imbalance causing leaks and
use-after-free").
