vti: flush x-netns xfrm cache when vti interface is removed

When executing the script included below, the netns delete operation
hangs with the following message (repeated at 10 second intervals):

  kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 1

This occurs because a reference to the lo interface in the "secure" netns
is still held by a dst entry in the xfrm bundle cache in the init netns.

Address this problem by garbage collecting the tunnel netns flow cache
when a cross-namespace vti interface receives a NETDEV_DOWN notification.

A more detailed description of the problem scenario (referencing commands
in the script below):

(1) ip link add vti_test type vti local 1.1.1.1 remote 1.1.1.2 key 1

  The vti_test interface is created in the init namespace. vti_tunnel_init()
  attaches a struct ip_tunnel to the vti interface's netdev_priv(dev),
  setting the tunnel net to &init_net.

(2) ip link set vti_test netns secure

  The vti_test interface is moved to the "secure" netns. Note that
  the associated struct ip_tunnel still has tunnel->net set to &init_net.

(3) ip netns exec secure ping -c 4 -i 0.02 -I 192.168.100.1 192.168.200.1

  The first packet sent using the vti device causes xfrm_lookup() to be
  called as follows:

      dst = xfrm_lookup(tunnel->net, skb_dst(skb), fl, NULL, 0);

  Note that tunnel->net is the init namespace, while skb_dst(skb) references
  the vti_test interface in the "secure" namespace. The returned dst
  references an interface in the init namespace.

  Also note that the first parameter to xfrm_lookup() determines which flow
  cache is used to store the computed xfrm bundle, so after xfrm_lookup()
  returns there will be a cached bundle in the init namespace flow cache
  with a dst referencing a device in the "secure" namespace.

(4) ip netns del secure

  Kernel begins to delete the "secure" namespace.  At some point the
  vti_test interface is deleted, at which point dst_ifdown() changes
  the dst->dev in the cached xfrm bundle flow from vti_test to lo (still
  in the "secure" namespace however).
  Since nothing has happened to cause the init namespace's flow cache
  to be garbage collected, this dst remains attached to the flow cache,
  so the kernel loops waiting for the last reference to lo to go away.
