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.
Because of that problem, netns exit routine can not be finished and
below message will be printed.
