Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] rtnetlink: restore handling of dumpit return value in rtnl_dump_all()

For non-zero return from dumpit() we should break the loop
in rtnl_dump_all() and return the result. Otherwise, e.g.,
we could get the memory leak in inet6_dump_fib() [1]. The
pointer to the allocated struct fib6_walker there (saved
in cb->args) can be lost, reset on the next iteration.

Fix it by partially restoring the previous behavior before
commit c63586dc9b3e ("net: rtnl_dump_all needs to propagate
error from dumpit function"). The returned error from
dumpit() is still passed further.
