ipv6: Mark dead nexthops with appropriate flags
When a netdev is put administratively down or unregistered all the nexthops using it as their nexthop device should be marked with the 'dead' and 'linkdown' flags. Currently, when a route is dumped its nexthop device is tested and the flags are set accordingly. A similar check is performed during route lookup. Instead, we can simply mark the nexthops based on netdev events and avoid checking the netdev's state during route dump and lookup.
