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.
