loopback: create blackhole net device similar to loopack.
Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead" dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b) MTU on this device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb(). and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex. Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead.
