First 3 patches are more-or-less cleanups/preparations.

Patches 4/5 are fixes for netns file descriptors leaks/open.

Patch 6 was sent to me/contributed off-list by Mohammad, who wants 32-bit kernels to run TCP-AO.

Patch 7 is a workaround/fix for slow VMs. Albeit, I can't reproduce the issue, but I hope it will fix netdev flakes for connect-deny-* tests.

And the biggest change is adding TCP-AO tracepoints to selftests. I think it's a good addition by the following reasons:

• The related tracepoints are now tested;
• It allows tcp-ao selftests to raise expectations on the kernel behavior - up from the syscalls exit statuses + net counters.
• Provides tracepoints usage samples.

Looks like we got no flakes over the weekend, so applying, thanks! :)
