nexthop: Fix performance regression in nexthop deletion
While insertion of 16k nexthops all using the same netdev ('dummy10')
takes less than a second, deletion takes about 130 seconds:
# time -p ip -b nexthop.batch
real 0.29
user 0.01
sys 0.15
# time -p ip link set dev dummy10 down
real 131.03
user 0.06
sys 0.52
This is because of repeated calls to synchronize_rcu() whenever a
nexthop is removed from a nexthop group:
# /usr/share/bcc/tools/offcputime -p `pgrep -nx ip` -K

Since nexthops are always deleted under RTNL, synchronize_net() can be
used instead. It will call synchronize_rcu_expedited() which only blocks
for several microseconds as opposed to multiple milliseconds like
synchronize_rcu().
With this patch deletion of 16k nexthops takes less than a second:
# time -p ip link set dev dummy10 down
real 0.12
user 0.00
sys 0.04
Tested with fib_nexthops.sh which includes torture tests that prompted
the initial change:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh
...
Tests passed: 134
Tests failed: 0
