zebra: EVPN check l3vni vxlan intf exist in rmac install

[chiragshah6]

In event of Vxlan interface down, there is a possibility, L3VNI is cleaned up and its associated routes are triggered for cleanup, at the time of uninstall of RMAC, the L3VNI associated vxlan_if is likely cleaned up.
Check the VxLAN interface existance before proceeding.
