Subject: [RFC] fib_trie: flush improvement

This is an attempt to fix the problem described in:
     http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6648
I can reproduce this by loading lots and lots of routes and the taking
the interface down. This causes all entries in trie to be flushed, but
each leaf removal causes a rebalance of the trie. And since the removal
is depth first, it creates lots of needless work.

Instead on flush, just walk the trie and prune as we go.
The implementation is for description only, it probably doesn't work yet.
