net: fix decnet rtnexthop parsing
dn_fib_count_nhs() could enter an infinite loop if nhp->rtnh_len == 0 (i.e. if userspace passes a malformed netlink message). Let's use the helpers from net/nexthop.h which take care of all this stuff. We can do exactly the same as e.g. fib_count_nexthops() and fib_get_nhs() from net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c. This fixes the softlockup for me. Cc: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
