Subject: [patch net-next 01/15] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Nullify nexthop's neigh pointer

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>

When we invalidate a nexthop we should also invalidate its neighbour
entry pointer as it might be destroyed later on. This makes the nexthop
de-init function symmetric with its init and also ensures nobody will
try to access the neighbour entry.
