Julian Squires 9c167b2ddc cfg80211: allow vendor dumpit to terminate by returning 0
nl80211 vendor netlink dumpit, like netlink_callback->dump, should
signal successful completion by returning 0.

Currently, that will just cause dumpit to be called again, possibly
many times until an error occurs.  Since skb->len is never going to be
0 by the time dumpit is called, the only way for dumpit to signal
completion is by returning an error.  If it returns a positive value,
the current message is cancelled, but that positive value is returned
and nl80211_vendor_cmd_dump gets called again.

Fix that by passing a return value of 0 through.

README

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.
