The only error that can happen during a nexthop dump is insufficient
space in the skb caring the netlink messages (EMSGSIZE). If this happens
and some messages were already filled in, the nexthop code returns the
skb length to signal the netlink core that more objects need to be
dumped.
After commit b5a899154aa9 ("netlink: handle EMSGSIZE errors in the
core") there is no need to handle this error in the nexthop code as it
is now handled in the core.
Simplify the code and simply return the error to the core.
No regressions in nexthop tests:
# ./fib_nexthops.sh
Tests passed: 234

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.
