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.
