mlxsw: spectrum_router: Flush resources when RIF is deleted

When the last IP address is removed from a netdev, its RIF is deleted.
However, if user didn't first remove neighbours and nexthops using this
interface, then they would still be present in the device's tables.

Therefore, whenever a RIF is deleted, make sure all the neighbours and
nexthops (adjacency entries) using it are removed from the relevant
tables as well.

The action associated with any route using this RIF would be refreshed,
most likely to trap. If the kernel decides to remove the route (f.e.,
because all the nexthops are now DEAD), then an event would be sent,
causing the route to be removed from the device.
