History
Eric Dumazet e5f80fcf86 ipv6: give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev 
IPv6 addrconf notifiers wants the loopback device to
be the last device being dismantled at netns deletion.

This caused many limitations and work arounds.

Back in linux-5.3, Mahesh added a per host blackhole_netdev
that can be used whenever we need to make sure objects no longer
refer to a disappearing device.

If we attach to blackhole_netdev an ip6_ptr (allocate an idev),
then we can use this special device (which is never freed)
in place of the loopback_dev (which can be freed).

This will permit improvements in netdev_run_todo() and other parts
of the stack where had steps to make sure loopback_dev was
the last device to disappear.
