[PATCH net-next] ipv4/fib: send RTM_DELROUTE notify when flush fib

After deleting an interface address in fib_del_ifaddr(), the function
scans the fib_info list for stray entries and calls fib_flush.
Then the stray entries will be deleted silently and no RTM_DELROUTE
notification will be sent.

This lack of notification can make routing daemons like NetworkManager,
miss the routing changes. e.g.

+ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
+ ip link add dummy2 type dummy
+ ip link set dummy1 up
+ ip link set dummy2 up
+ ip addr add 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
+ ip route add 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 src 192.168.5.5
+ ip -4 route
7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 scope link src 192.168.5.5
192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
+ ip monitor route
+ ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted broadcast 192.168.5.255 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted local 192.168.5.5 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.5.5

After update:
+ ip monitor route
+ ip addr del 192.168.5.5/24 dev dummy1
Deleted 192.168.5.0/24 dev dummy1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted broadcast 192.168.5.255 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.5.5
Deleted local 192.168.5.5 dev dummy1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.5.5
Deleted 7.7.7.0/24 dev dummy2 scope link src 192.168.5.5
