Commit afbd8bae9c798c5cdbe4439d3a50536b5438247c 
   vxlan: add implicit fdb entry for default destination
creates an implicit fdb entry for default destination. This results 
in an invalid fdb entry if default destination is not specified.
For ex: 
  ip link add vxlan1 type vxlan id 100
creates the following fdb entry
  00:00:00:00:00:00 dev vxlan1 dst 0.0.0.0 self permanent

This patch fixes this issue by creating an fdb entry only if a
valid default destination is specified.
