ipv6: bring NLM_DONE out to a separate recv() again
Commit under Fixes optimized the number of recv() calls needed during RTM_GETROUTE dumps, but we got multiple reports of applications hanging on recv() calls. Applications expect that a route dump will be terminated with a recv() reading an individual NLM_DONE message. Coalescing NLM_DONE is perfectly legal in netlink, but even tho reporters fixed the code in respective projects, chances are it will take time for those applications to get updated. So revert to old behavior (for now)? This is an IPv6 version of commit 460b0d33 ("inet: bring NLM_DONE out to a separate recv() again").
