Alexey Kodanev 5e1acb4afa rtnetlink: restore handling of dumpit return value in rtnl_dump_all()
For non-zero return from dumpit() we should break the loop
in rtnl_dump_all() and return the result. Otherwise, e.g.,
we could get the memory leak in inet6_dump_fib() [1]. The
pointer to the allocated struct fib6_walker there (saved
in cb->args) can be lost, reset on the next iteration.

Fix it by partially restoring the previous behavior before
commit c63586dc9b3e ("net: rtnl_dump_all needs to propagate
error from dumpit function"). The returned error from
dumpit() is still passed further.

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.
