Subject: mpls: Send route delete notifications when router module is unloaded

From: David Ahern <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e37791ec1ad785b59022ae211f63a16189bacebf ]

When the mpls_router module is unloaded, mpls routes are deleted but notifications are not sent to userspace leaving userspace caches out of sync. Add the call to mpls_notify_route in mpls_net_exit as routes are freed.

Fixes 0189197f44160 ("mpls: Basic routing support")
