Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix rollback in tunnel next hop init

In mlxsw_sp_nexthop6_init(), a next hop is always added to the router linked list, and mlxsw_sp_nexthop_type_init() is invoked afterwards. When that function results in an error, the next hop will not have been removed from the linked list. As the error is propagated upwards and the caller frees the next hop object, the linked list ends up holding an invalid object.

A similar issue comes up with mlxsw_sp_nexthop4_init(), where rollback block does exist, however does not include the linked list removal.

Both IPv6 and IPv4 next hops have a similar issue with next-hop counter rollbacks. As these were introduced in the same patchset as the next hop linked list, include the cleanup in this patch.

Fixes dbe4598c1e92 ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Keep nexthops in a linked list")
Fixes a5390278a5eb ("mlxsw: spectrum: Add support for setting counters on nexthops")
