Since this is now taken care of by FIB notifier, remove the code, with
all unused dependencies.

Since this is now removed I believe we should perform this check inside
the drivers. For mlxsw we can simply iterate over the nexthops and make
sure each has a RIF.

rocker does not support multiple nexthops. For mlxsw, we can you what
you suggest. Will add it.
