After a closer look at the GTP driver, I'm confused about
the gtp_dev_list here. GTP device is linked to this list at
creation time, but netns can be changed afterwards.
The list is used in gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl(), but to my
understanding net devices can already be deleted in
default_device_exit_batch() by default.
And I wonder if the use in gtp_genl_dump_pdp() can be
replaced by something like for_each_netdev_rcu().
