[Impact]
There are cases, where deleting a VRF device can hang waiting for the refcnt
to drop to 0, with the message:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vrf1 to become free. Usage count = 1
This is fixed upstream with commit b87b04f5019e
("ipv4: Fix device used for dst_alloc with local routes"), included in linux
v5.13. The original patch, which has introduced the bug, is included in
linux v4.10.

[Test Case]
Reproduced the bug with the upstream test case which also is the test added
to fib_tests.sh. Confirmed that after the patch was applied the test case does
not hang and successfully removes VRF device.
[Regression Potential]
Relatively straightforward in that it links a new dst to a vrf device
isntead of the loopback if there is a valid nexthop device.
