inet_dump_fib() saves its progress in cb->args[1] as a positional
index within the current hash chain. Between batches, a concurrent
fib_new_table() can insert a new table at the chain head, shifting
all existing entries. On resume the saved index lands on a different
table, causing already-dumped tables to be re-dumped and the
originally suspended table to restart from the beginning.
Fix by storing tb->tb_id in cb->args[1] instead of a positional
index, mirroring the fix applied to inet6_dump_fib().

Consider a hash slot containing two tables [A(pos=0), B(pos=1)] where
B is large enough to require multiple batches. On the first batch, B
suspends mid-walk and the loop saves:
cb->args[1] = e; /* e=1, position of B in the chain */
The lock is then released. At this point a concurrent fib_new_table()
inserts table C at the chain head via hlist_add_head_rcu(), making the
chain [C(pos=0), A(pos=1), B(pos=2)].
On the next batch, inet_dump_fib() resumes with s_e=1 and iterates:
s_e = cb->args[1]; /* s_e = 1 */
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(tb, head, tb_hlist) {
if (e < s_e) /* skip C at pos=0 */
goto next;
/* e=1: tb now points to A, not B */
if (dumped)
memset(...); /* resets B's suspended progress */
fib_table_dump(tb, ...); /* re-dumps A from scratch */
dumped = 1;
/* e=2: tb now points to B */
fib_table_dump(tb, ...); /* re-dumps B from beginning */
}
Routes from A are dumped twice, and the portion of B that was already
dumped in the first batch is dumped again.
