Subject: net: use loopback dev when generating blackhole route
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: 1dbe32525e26ec28d2cc17f65a90fc7b53f1f8d0
References: bsc#1061739

Existing ipv4/6_blackhole_route() code generates a blackhole route
with dst->dev pointing to the passed in dst->dev.
It is not necessary to hold reference to the passed in dst->dev
because the packets going through this route are dropped anyway.
A loopback interface is good enough so that we don't need to worry about
releasing this dst->dev when this dev is going down.
