Currently, a multi-part nexthop dump is restarted based on the number of
nexthops that have been dumped so far. This can result in a lot of
nexthops not being dumped when nexthops are simultaneously deleted:
# ip nexthop | wc -l
65536
# ip nexthop flush
Dump was interrupted and may be inconsistent.
Flushed 36040 nexthops
# ip nexthop | wc -l
29496
Instead, restart the dump based on the nexthop identifier (fixed number)
of the last successfully dumped nexthop:
# ip nexthop | wc -l
65536
# ip nexthop flush
Dump was interrupted and may be inconsistent.
Flushed 65536 nexthops
# ip nexthop | wc -l
