bgpd: Ignore handling NLRIs if we received MP_UNREACH_NLRI

ton31337 · donaldsharp · commit a0c4ec2f52b2 · 2023-11-21T09:39:39.000-05:00
If we receive MP_UNREACH_NLRI, we should stop handling remaining NLRIs if
no mandatory path attributes received.

In other words, if MP_UNREACH_NLRI received, the remaining NLRIs should be handled
as a new data, but without mandatory attributes, it's a malformed packet.

In normal case, this MUST not happen at all, but to avoid crashing bgpd, we MUST
handle that.
