Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/3] nexthop: Use a dedicated policy for nh_valid_get_del_req()

This function uses the global nexthop policy only to then bounce all
arguments except for NHA_ID. Instead, just create a new policy that
only includes the one allowed attribute.

Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <petrm@...dia.com>

Notes:
    v2:
    - Do not specify size of the policy array. Use ARRAY_SIZE instead
      of NHA_MAX
