bgpd: Blackhole nexthops are not reachable

When bgp registers for a nexthop that is not reachable due
to the nexthop pointing to a blackhole, bgp is never going
to be able to reach it when attempting to open a connection.

Broken behavior:

<show bgp nexthop>
 192.168.161.204 valid [IGP metric 0], #paths 0, peer 192.168.161.204

As that the connect to a blackhole is correctly rejected by the kernel

Fixed behavior:
