Subject: [PATCH 4.9 150/329] batman-adv: Ignore invalid batadv_v_gw during netlink send

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@...nmesh.com>

[ Upstream commit 011c935fceae5252619ef730baa610c655281dda ]

The function batadv_v_gw_dump stops the processing loop when
batadv_v_gw_dump_entry returns a non-0 return code. This should only
happen when the buffer is full. Otherwise, an empty message may be
returned by batadv_gw_dump. This empty message will then stop the netlink
dumping of gateway entries. At worst, not a single entry is returned to
userspace even when plenty of possible gateways exist.

Fixes: b71bb6f924fe ("batman-adv: add B.A.T.M.A.N. V bat_gw_dump implementations")
