Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  [Impact]

  Users of kernels that utilize NFS may see the following messages when
  shutting down and starting containers:

      unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count =
  1

  This can cause issues when trying to create net network namespace and
  thus block a user from creating new containers.

  [Test Case]

  Setup multiple containers in parallel to mount and NFS share, create
  some traffic and shutdown. Eventually you will see the kernel message.

  power management:

  somehow reproducable the subjected error, and lxc is working still but
  not more managable until a reboot.

  managable means every command hangs.

  I saw there are alot of bugs but they seams to relate to older version
  and are closed, so i decided to file a new one?

  I run alot of machine with trusty an lxc containers but only these kind of machines produces these errors, all
  other don't show these odd behavior.

  thx in advance
