This implicitly depends on the fact that cmd->dump_one() will set and
pay attention to state->idx. If it doesn't kernel will infinitely dump
the same instance. I think we should explicitly check state->idx and
set it to 1 after calling ->dump_one.

Could you also move the filtered dump to a separate function which
either does this or calls devlink_nl_instance_iter_dumpit()?
I like the concise beauty that devlink_nl_instance_iter_dumpit()
currently is, it'd be a shame to side load it with other logic :]
