nexthops: don't modify published nexthop groups
We must avoid modifying published nexthop groups while they might be in use, otherwise we might see NULL ptr dereferences. In order to do that we allocate 2 nexthoup group structures upon nexthop creation and swap between them when we have to delete an entry. The reason is that we can't fail nexthop group removal, so we can't handle allocation failure thus we move the extra allocation on creation where we can safely fail and return ENOMEM.
