nexthop: Do not return invalid nexthop object during multipath selection



With legacy nexthops, when net.ipv4.fib_multipath_use_neigh is set,
fib_select_multipath() will never set res->nhc to a nexthop that is not
good (as per fib_good_nh()). OTOH, with nexthop objects,
nexthop_select_path_hthr() may return a nexthop that failed the
nexthop_is_good_nh() test even if there was one that passed. Refactor
nexthop_select_path_hthr() to follow a selection logic more similar to
fib_select_multipath().

The issue can be demonstrated with the following sequence of commands. The
first block shows that things work as expected with legacy nexthops. The
last sequence of `ip rou get` in the second block shows the problem case -
some routes still use the .2 nexthop.

sysctl net.ipv4.fib_multipath_use_neigh=1
ip link add dummy1 up type dummy
ip rou add 198.51.100.0/24 nexthop via 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1 onlink nexthop via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1 onlink
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1 nud failed
echo ".1 failed:"  # results should not use .1
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip neigh del 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1
ip neigh add 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1 nud failed
echo ".2 failed:"  # results should not use .2
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip link del dummy1

ip link add dummy1 up type dummy
ip nexthop add id 1 via 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1 onlink
ip nexthop add id 2 via 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1 onlink
ip nexthop add id 1001 group 1/2
ip rou add 198.51.100.0/24 nhid 1001
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1 nud failed
echo ".1 failed:"  # results should not use .1
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip neigh del 192.0.2.1 dev dummy1
ip neigh add 192.0.2.2 dev dummy1 nud failed
echo ".2 failed:"  # results should not use .2
for i in {10..19}; do ip -o rou get 198.51.100.$i; done
ip link del dummy1
