in6_dump_addrs() returns a positive 1 if there was nothing to dump.
This return value can not be passed as return from inet6_dump_addr()
as is, because it will confuse rtnetlink, resulting in NLMSG_DONE
never getting set:

$ ip addr list dev lo
EOF on netlink
Dump terminated

v2: flip condition to avoid a new goto (DaveA)

Fixes: 7c1e8a3817c5 ("netlink: fixup regression in RTM_GETADDR")

Applied, and since the RTM_GETADDR regression fix was backports I'll have
to -stable this as well.

Thanks!
