[tor-relays] Syslog: Kernel TCP: Too many orphaned sockets

I looked at my exit relay's syslog for no specific reason, and saw that it
was flooded with the following message:

kernel: [1736405.162223] TCP: too many orphaned sockets

These messages occur multiple times per second, but they only flood the log
every couple of hours. What is this, and what does it mean?
