netdevsim: fib: Fix reference count leak on route deletion failure
[ Upstream commit 180a6a3 ] As part of FIB offload simulation, netdevsim stores IPv4 and IPv6 routes and holds a reference on FIB info structures that in turn hold a reference on the associated nexthop device(s). In the unlikely case where we are unable to allocate memory to process a route deletion request, netdevsim will not release the reference from the associated FIB info structure, thereby preventing the associated nexthop device(s) from ever being removed [1]. Fix this by scheduling a work item that will flush netdevsim's FIB table upon route deletion failure. This will cause netdevsim to release its reference from all the FIB info structures in its table.
