"gtp: Suppress list corruption splat in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl().
Commit eb28fd76c0a0 (gtp: Destroy device along with udp socket's
netns dismantle.) added the for_each_netdev() loop in
gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() to destroy devices in each netns as done in
geneve and ip tunnels. However, this could trigger ->dellink() twice
for the same device during ->exit_batch_rtnl().
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
