netfilter: nf_flow_table: remove flowtable hook flush routine in netn…

…s exit routine

When device is unregistered, flowtable flush routine is called
by notifier_call(nf_tables_flowtable_event). and exit callback of
nftables pernet_operation(nf_tables_exit_net) also has flowtable flush
routine. but when network namespace is destroyed, both notifier_call
and pernet_operation are called. hence flowtable flush routine in
pernet_operation is unnecessary.

test commands:
   %ip netns add vm1
   %ip netns exec vm1 nft add table ip filter
   %ip netns exec vm1 nft add flowtable ip filter w \
	{ hook ingress priority 0\; devices = { lo }\; }
   %ip netns del vm1

splat looks like:

This WARNING means that hook unregisteration is failed because
all flowtables hooks are already unregistered by notifier_call.

Network namespace exit routine guarantees that all devices will be
unregistered first. then, other exit callbacks of pernet_operations
are called. so that removing flowtable flush routine in exit callback of
pernet_operation(nf_tables_exit_net) doesn't make flowtable leak.
