Before commit f10d3d9df4 ("nexthop: Make nexthop bucket dump more
efficient"), rtm_dump_nexthop_bucket_nh() returned a non-zero return
code for each resilient nexthop group whose buckets it dumped,
regardless if it encountered an error or not.
This meant that the sentinel ('dd->ctx->nh.idx') used by the function
that walked the different nexthops could not be used as a sentinel for
the bucket dump, as otherwise buckets from the same group would be
dumped over and over again.
This was dealt with by adding another sentinel ('dd->ctx->done_nh_idx')
that was incremented by rtm_dump_nexthop_bucket_nh() after successfully
dumping all the buckets from a given group.
After the previously mentioned commit this sentinel is no longer
necessary since the function no longer returns a non-zero return code
when successfully dumping all the buckets from a given group.
Remove this sentinel and simplify the code.

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.
