In zebra_interface_nhg_reinstall zebra is checking that the nhg is a singleton and not a blackhole nhg. This was originally done with checking that the nexthop is a NEXTHOP_TYPE_IFINDEX, NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV4_IFINDEX and NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV6_IFINDEX. This was excluding NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV4 and NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV6. These were both possible to be received and maintained from the upper level protocol for when a route is being recursively resolved. If we have gotten to this point in zebra_interface_nhg_reinstall the nexthop group has already been installed at least once and we *know* that it is actually a valid nexthop. What the test is really trying to do is ensure that we are not reinstalling a blackhole nexthop group( Which is not possible to even be here by the way, but safety first! ). So let's change to test for that instead. Signed-off-by: Donald Sharp <sharpd@nvidia.com> (cherry picked from commit 29c1ff4)
