Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/4] net: fib: avoid calling fib_flush for each device when doing batch close and unregister

Call fib_flush at the end when closing or unregistering multiple
devices. This can save walking the fib many times and greatly
reduce rtnl_lock hold time when unregistering many devices with
a fib having hundreds of thousands of routes.
