Amit Cohen a08a61934c mlxsw: spectrum_router: Remove abort mechanism 
The abort mechanism was introduced in commit 8e05fd7166 ("fib: hook
IPv4 fib for hardware offload") with the purpose of falling back to
software-based routing in case of a route programming error in hardware.
The process is irreversible and requires users to reload the offloading
driver or reboot the machine.

While this approach might make sense in theory, it makes very little
sense in practice. In the case of high speed ASICs such as the Spectrum
ASIC, the abort mechanism effectively kills the machine upon a non-fatal
error such as a route programming error.

Such an extreme policy does not belong in the kernel, especially when
user space can simply try to reprogram the route following the
RTM_NEWROUTE failure notification.

Therefore, remove the abort mechanism.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
