When a netnsamespace exits, the nf_tables pernet_ops will remove all rules.
However, there is one caveat:
Base chains that register ingress hooks will cause use-after-free:
device is already gone at that point.
The device event handlers prevent this from happening:
netns exit synthesizes unregister events for all devices.
However, an improper fix for a race condition made the notifiers a no-op
in case they get called from netns exit path, so revert that part.
This is safe now as the previous patch fixed nf_tables pernet ops
and device notifier initialisation ordering.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
