The global blackhole_netdev has replaced pernet loopback_dev to become the
one given to the object that holds an netdev when ifdown in many places of
ipv4 and ipv6 since commit 8d7017fd621d ("blackhole_netdev: use
blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entries").
Especially after commit faab39f63c1f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev
unregistration"), it's no longer safe to use loopback_dev that may be
freed before other netdev.
This patch is to set dst dev to blackhole_netdev instead of loopback_dev
in ifdown.
v1->v2:
- add Fixes tag as Eric suggested.
Fixes: faab39f63c1f ("net: allow out-of-order netdev unregistration")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
