David Ahern 7bf4796dd0 nexthops: add support for replace
Add support for atomically upating a nexthop config.

When updating a nexthop, walk the lists of associated fib entries and
verify the new config is valid. Replace is done by swapping nh_info
for single nexthops - new config is applied to old nexthop struct, and
old config is moved to new nexthop struct. For nexthop groups the same
applies but for nh_group. In addition for groups the nh_parent reference
needs to be updated. The old config is released by calling __remove_nexthop
on the 'new' nexthop which now has the old config. This is done to avoid
messing around with the list_heads that track which fib entries are
using the nexthop.

After the swap of config data, bump the sequence counters for FIB entries
to invalidate any dst entries and send notifications to userspace. The
notifications include the new nexthop spec as well as any fib entries
using the updated nexthop struct.

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.
