Subject: [PATCH][net-next] net: remove empty netlink_tap_exit_net

Pointer members of an object with static storage duration, if not
explicitly initialized, will be initialized to a NULL pointer. The
net namespace API checks if this pointer is not NULL before using it,
it are safe to remove the function.
