[SRU][B/F][PATCH v3 0/1] vrf: fix refcnt leak with vxlan slaves

[Luke Nowakowski-Krijger]

This is a backport request by Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel at 6wind.com>

[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.

[Backports for Bionic]

Removed updates to tools/testing/selftests/net/fib_tests.sh as they do not
exist for bionic. Also changed the struct referenced in the patch from
fib_nh_common to fib_nh as well as the associated accesses to the
struct.

[Test Case]

Reproduced the bug with the upstream test case which also is the test in
the original patch 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.
