When bridge is deleted before tap/vif device's delete, kernel may
encounter an oops because of NULL reference to fake_rtable's dst.
Set fake_rtable's dst to NULL before sending packets out can solve this
problem.

v3 enrich commit header

v2 added a new flag DST_FAKE_RTABLE to dst_entry struct.

I am okay with the contents of the patch but the formatting is all
botched. It adds bad indentation and whitespace, please run it
through checkpatch.

Got it, I will send the v4 version of modified format.
Thanks!
