Well, I do not have conntrack on my kernels, and I can not reproduce the
issue.

So I am guessing other patches also solved a scalability issue, between
4.1 and 4.7

I am aware of something that David did for IPv4, but this might help as
well for IPv6.

commit fbd40ea0180a2d328c5adc61414dc8bab9335ce2
ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work during inetdev destroy.
