[RFC PATCH net-next 12/22] nexthop: Emit a notification when a nexthop group is replaced

[Ido Schimmel]

From: Ido Schimmel <ido...@nvidia.com>

Emit a notification in the nexthop notification chain when an existing
nexthop group is replaced.

The notification is emitted after all the validation checks were
performed, but before the new configuration (i.e., 'struct nh_grp') is
pointed at by the old shell (i.e., 'struct nexthop'). This prevents the
need to perform rollback in case the notification is vetoed.
