Petr Machata 0bccf8ed8a 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.
