mlxsw: spectrum_router: Make RIF deletion more robust

In the past we had multiple instances where RIFs were not properly
deleted.

One of the reasons for leaking a RIF was that at the time when IP
addresses were flushed from the respective netdev (prompting the
destruction of the RIF), the netdev was no longer a mlxsw upper. This
caused the inet{,6}addr notification blocks to ignore the NETDEV_DOWN
event and leak the RIF.

Instead of checking whether the netdev is our upper when an IP address
is removed, we can instead check if the netdev has a RIF configured.

To look up a RIF we need to access mlxsw private data, so the patch
stores the notification blocks inside a mlxsw struct. This then allows
us to use container_of() and extract the required private data.
