From: James Chapman jchapman@katalix.com
[ Upstream commit 76a6abdb2513ad4ea0ded55d2c66160491f2e848 ]
Previously, if a tunnel was closed, we called inet_shutdown to mark the socket as unconnected such that userspace would get errors and then close the socket. This could race with userspace closing the socket. Instead, leave userspace to close the socket in its own time (our tunnel will be detached anyway).
