cfg80211: allow vendor dumpit to terminate by returning 0

Browse Source 
nl80211 vendor netlink dumpit, like netlink_callback->dump, should
signal successful completion by returning 0.

Currently, that will just cause dumpit to be called again, possibly
many times until an error occurs.  Since skb->len is never going to be
0 by the time dumpit is called, the only way for dumpit to signal
completion is by returning an error.  If it returns a positive value,
the current message is cancelled, but that positive value is returned
and nl80211_vendor_cmd_dump gets called again.

Fix that by passing a return value of 0 through.
