PATCH 1/1 net/ipv6: Fix index counter for unicast addresses in in6_dump_addrs

From: David Ahern <[email protected]>

The loop wants to skip previously dumped addresses, so loops until current index >= saved index. If the message fills it wants to save the index for the next address to dump - ie., the one that did not fit in the current message.

Currently, it is incrementing the index counter before comparing to the saved index, and then the saved index is off by 1 - it assumes the current address is going to fit in the message.

Change the index handling to increment only after a succesful dump.

Fixes 502a2ffd7376a ("ipv6: convert idev_list to list macros")
