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().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
