net/ipv6: Add knob to skip DELROUTE message on device down
Another difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the generation of RTM_DELROUTE notifications when a device is taken down (admin down) or deleted. IPv4 does not generate a message for routes evicted by the down or delete; IPv6 does. A NOS at scale really needs to avoid these messages and have IPv4 and IPv6 behave similarly, relying on userspace to handle link notifications and evict the routes. At this point existing user behavior needs to be preserved. Since notifications are a global action (not per app) the only way to preserve existing behavior and allow the messages to be skipped is to add a new sysctl (net/ipv6/route/skip_notify_on_dev_down) which can be set to disable the notificatioons. IPv6 route code already supports the option to skip the message (it is used for multipath routes for example). Besides the new sysctl we need to pass the skip_notify setting through the generic fib6_clean and fib6_walk functions to fib6_clean_node and to set skip_notify on calls to __ip_del_rt for the addrconf_ifdown path.
