Public bug reported:
[Impact]
There are cases, where deleting a VRF device can hang waiting for the refcnt to
drop to 0, with the message:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vrf1 to become free. Usage count = 1
This is fixed upstream with commit b87b04f5019e ("ipv4: Fix device used
for dst_alloc with local routes"), included in linux v5.13. The original
patch, which has introduced the bug, is included in linux v4.10.

[Test Case]
The upstream patch includes a test case, which describe how to reproduce
the bug.
[Regression Potential]
The patch affects ipv4 routing. It is straightforward, it links new dst
to a vrf device instead of the loopback if needed.
