Subject: [net-next PATCH] net: rtnetlink: fdb dflt dump must set idx used
 for cb->arg[0]

In rtnl_fdb_dump() when the fdb_dump ndo op is not populated
we never set the idx value so that cb->arg[0] is always 0.
Resulting in a endless loop of messages.

Introduced with this commit,

commit 090096bf3db1c281ddd034573260045888a68fea
Author: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@...hat.com>
