nexthop: Extract a helper for validation of get/del RTNL requests
Validation of messages for get / del of a next hop is the same as will be validation of messages for get of a resilient next hop group bucket. The difference is that policy for resilient next hop group buckets is a superset of that used for next-hop get. It is therefore possible to reuse the code that validates the nhmsg fields, extracts the next-hop ID, and validates that. To that end, extract from nh_valid_get_del_req() a helper __nh_valid_get_del_req() that does just that. Make the nlh argument const so that the function can be called from the dump context, which only has a const nlh. Propagate the constness to nh_valid_get_del_req().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
