[ Upstream commit f97f4dd8b3bb9d0993d2491e0f22024c68109184 ]

IPv4 routing tables are flushed in two cases:

1. In response to events in the netdev and inetaddr notification chains
2. When a network namespace is being dismantled

In both cases only routes associated with a dead nexthop group are
flushed. However, a nexthop group will only be marked as dead in case it
is populated with actual nexthops using a nexthop device. This is not
the case when the route in question is an error route (e.g.,
'blackhole', 'unreachable').

Therefore, when a network namespace is being dismantled such routes are
not flushed and leaked [1].

To reproduce:
# ip netns add blue
# ip -n blue route add unreachable 192.0.2.0/24
# ip netns del blue

Fix this by not skipping error routes that are not marked with
RTNH_F_DEAD when flushing the routing tables.

To prevent the flushing of such routes in case #1, add a parameter to
fib_table_flush() that indicates if the table is flushed as part of
namespace dismantle or not.

Note that this problem does not exist in IPv6 since error routes are
associated with the loopback device.
