Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: double hook unregistration in netns
path

__nft_release_hooks() is called from pre_netns exit path which unregisters the hooks, then the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is triggered which unregisters the hooks again.

Unregister and destroy netdev hook from netns pre_exit via kfree_rcu so the NETDEV_UNREGISTER path see unregistered hooks.
