Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

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.
