[ Upstream commit b7f1a16d29b2e28d3dcbb070511bd703e306281b ]
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

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.
