[v2,net-next,0/2] ipv6: fix hangup on device removal

Message

This addresses the infamous unregister_netdevice splat in net selftests;
the actual fix is carried by the first patch, while the 2nd one
addresses a related problem in the relevant test that was patially
hiding the problem.

Targeting net-next as the issue is quite old and I feel a little lost
in the fib info/nh jungle.

v1 -> v2:
 - drop unintended whitespace change in patch 1/2

Paolo Abeni (2):
  ipv6: release nexthop on device removal
  selftests: net: really check for bg process completion
