[ Upstream commit 26a302afbe328ecb7507cae2035d938e6635131b ] flow_offload_alloc() calls nf_route() to get a dst_entry. Internally, nf_route() calls ip_route_output_key() that allocates a dst_entry and holds it. So, a dst_entry should be released by dst_release() if nf_route() is successful.
Otherwise, netns exit routine cannot be finished and the following message is printed: [ 257.490952] unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free.
