I'm not good at naming, but "blackhole" is at least consistent with what
we already have for routes and nexthop objects.
I have changed it the name "masked", as that is also the term used in 
the
documentation for the zero-DPV entries, and I think that it will 
generally
be a more accepted term.
"blackhole" is an already accepted term and at least to me it is much
more clear than "masked". Keep in mind that both L2 neighbours (FDB) 
and
L3 neighbours share the same uAPI and eventually we might want to 
extend
the use of this flag for L3 neighbours (at least Spectrum supports it),
so it needs to make sense for both.
Okay, I will do that then...
