ipv4: stop route notification sizing when nexthop group shrinks

Browse source

Commit 680aea08e7 ("net: ipv4: Emit notification when fib
hardware flags are changed") added an RCU-only fib_nlmsg_size() call
for asynchronous hardware flag notifications.

fib_nlmsg_size() checks fib_info_num_path() before each iteration,
then fib_info_nhc() independently reloads nh->nh_grp. If
RTM_NEWNEXTHOP replaces a group with fewer paths between those loads,
fib_info_nhc() returns NULL and fib_nexthop_nlmsg_size() dereferences
it.

Stop sizing when the indexed path is absent. Nexthop groups are
dense, so the current snapshot has no later path.
