ipv4: nexthop: allocate skb dynamically in rtm_get_nexthop()
When querying a nexthop object via RTM_GETNEXTHOP, the kernel currently
allocates a fixed-size skb using NLMSG_GOODSIZE. While sufficient for
single nexthops and small Equal-Cost Multi-Path groups, this fixed
allocation fails for large nexthop groups like 512 nexthops.
This results in the following warning splat:
WARNING: net/ipv4/nexthop.c:3395 at rtm_get_nexthop+0x176/0x1c0, CPU#20: rep/4608
[...]
RIP: 0010:rtm_get_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:3395)

Fix this by allocating the size dynamically using nh_nlmsg_size() and
using nlmsg_new(), this is consistent with nexthop_notify() behavior. In
addition, adjust nh_nlmsg_size_grp() so it calculates the size needed
based on flags passed. While at it, also add the size of NHA_FDB for
nexthop group size calculation as it was missing too.
This cannot be reproduced via iproute2 as the group size is currently
limited and the command fails as follows:
addattr_l ERROR: message exceeded bound of 1048
