mpls: Do not decrement alive counter for unregister events
Multipath routes can be rendered usesless when a device in one of the paths is deleted. For example: $ ip -f mpls ro ls 100 nexthop as to 200 via inet 172.16.2.2 dev virt12 nexthop as to 300 via inet 172.16.3.2 dev br0 101 nexthop as to 201 via inet6 2000:2::2 dev virt12 nexthop as to 301 via inet6 2000:3::2 dev br0 $ ip li del br0 When br0 is deleted the other hop is not considered in mpls_select_multipath because of the alive check -- rt_nhn_alive is 0. rt_nhn_alive is decremented once in mpls_ifdown when the device is taken down (NETDEV_DOWN) and again when it is deleted (NETDEV_UNREGISTER). For a 2 hop route, deleting one device drops the alive count to 0. Since devices are taken down before unregistering, the decrement on NETDEV_UNREGISTER is redundant.
