Subject: [PATCH net] nexthop: Fix division by zero while replacing a resilient group

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

The resilient nexthop group torture tests in fib_nexthop.sh exposed a
possible division by zero while replacing a resilient group [1]. The
division by zero occurs when the data path sees a resilient nexthop
group with zero buckets.

The tests replace a resilient nexthop group in a loop while traffic is
forwarded through it. The tests do not specify the number of buckets
while performing the replacement, resulting in the kernel allocating a
stub resilient table (i.e, 'struct nh_res_table') with zero buckets.

This table should never be visible to the data path, but the old nexthop
group (i.e., 'oldg') might still be used by the data path when the stub
table is assigned to it.

Fix this by only assigning the stub table to the old nexthop group after
making sure the group is no longer used by the data path.

Tested with fib_nexthops.sh:

Tests passed: 222
Tests failed:   0
