net: vrf: Do not allow looback to be moved to a VRF
Moving the loopback into a VRF breaks networking for the default VRF. Since the VRF device is the loopback for VRF domains, there is no reason to move the loopback. Given the repercussions, block attempts to set lo into a VRF. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Reviewed-by: Greg Rose <gvrose8192@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
