[PATCH v2 net-next] ipv4: fib: fix route re-dump in inet_dump_fib() on multi-batch dump

[Pengfei Zhang <zhangfeionline@gmail.com>]

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() in commit
9facb861dc6b ("ipv6: fib6: fix NULL deref in fib6_walk_continue()
on multi-batch dump").
