Why I did it
In syncd container, use iproute2 from debian repository instead of iproute2 supplied by SDK.
How I did it
We now download iproute2 from Debian repository, apply patches and compile to create the new target.
The target is then deployed in syncd container of mlnx switches only.
The new target is called IPROUTE2_MLNX.
How to verify it
Compile and load on switch, verify interfaces network devices created successfully.
Verify LLDP shows connections to neighbors
Verify ping between 2 hosts over 2 router ports is successful.
