Subject: [PATCH net] nexthop: fix uninitialized variable in
 nla_put_nh_group_stats()

The nh_grp_hw_stats_update() function doesn't always set "hw_stats_used"
so it could be used without being initialized.  Set it to false.

Fixes: 5072ae00aea4 ("net: nexthop: Expose nexthop group HW stats to user space")
