Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] nexthop: Simplify nexthop bucket dump

Before commit f10d3d9df49d ("nexthop: Make nexthop bucket dump more
efficient"), rtm_dump_nexthop_bucket_nh() returned a non-zero return
code for each resilient nexthop group whose buckets it dumped,
regardless if it encountered an error or not.

This meant that the sentinel ('dd->ctx->nh.idx') used by the function
that walked the different nexthops could not be used as a sentinel for
the bucket dump, as otherwise buckets from the same group would be
dumped over and over again.

This was dealt with by adding another sentinel ('dd->ctx->done_nh_idx')
that was incremented by rtm_dump_nexthop_bucket_nh() after successfully
dumping all the buckets from a given group.

After the previously mentioned commit this sentinel is no longer
necessary since the function no longer returns a non-zero return code
when successfully dumping all the buckets from a given group.

Remove this sentinel and simplify the code.
