mlxsw: spectrum: Drop refcounting of IPIP entries
Formerly, IPIP entries were created lazily by next hops that referenced an offloadable IP-in-IP netdevice. However now that they are created eagerly as a reaction to events on such netdevices, the reference counting is useless. Hence drop it. The routes whose next hops reference an offloaded IP-in-IP netdevice actually linger around a bit after their device is unregistered. However, mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_destroy() also destroys the backing loopback, and mlxsw_sp_rif_destroy() transitively (via mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_gone_sync()) calls mlxsw_sp_nexthop_ipip_fini(), which unlinks the IPIP entry from a next hop. Thus no dangling pointers are left behind for the brief window after netdevice is gone, but routes not yet. Signed-off-by:Petr Machata <petrm@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by:
