netfilter: conntrack: nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() removal
nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() is useless.
It is called from nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() only and tries to remove
nf_ct_gre_keymap entries from pernet gre keymap list. Though:
a) at this point the list should already be empty, all its entries were
deleted during the conntracks cleanup, because
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() executes nf_ct_iterate_cleanup(kill_all)
before nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini():
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list
+- nf_ct_iterate_cleanup
| nf_ct_put
| nf_conntrack_put
| nf_conntrack_destroy
| destroy_conntrack
| destroy_gre_conntrack
| nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy
`- nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini
nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush
b) Let's say we find that the keymap list is not empty. This means netns
still has a conntrack associated with gre, in which case we should not free
its memory, because this will lead to a double free and related crashes.
However I doubt it could have gone unnoticed for years, obviously
this does not happen in real life. So I think we can remove
both nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() and nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini().
