[PATCH v1 net] mpls: Set rt->rt_nhn just before returning from mpls_nh_build_multi().

Commit f0914b8436c5 ("mpls: Hold dev refcnt for mpls_nh.") added
change_nexthops() loop to call netdev_put() for the nexthop devices
before freeing mpls_route.

Then, mpls_nh_build_multi() was also changed to avoid iterating
uninitialised nexthops in mpls_rt_free_rcu().

However, setting rt->rt_nhn to 0 at the entry of mpls_nh_build_multi()
makes the following change_nexthops() no-op.

Let's set rt->rt_nhn just before returning from mpls_nh_build_multi().

Fixes: f0914b8436c5 ("mpls: Hold dev refcnt for mpls_nh.")
