Improve "Lost network stack" error message
The "Lost network stack" message often gets reported as suspected
root cause of a crash, but it is actually just a side-effect of a crash
of the network_stack process, which often was just killed together with
the rest of the system.
Clarify the error message, so that it is clear that the root cause
should be visible earlier in logs.
