net: nexthop: don't allow empty NHA_GROUP

Currently the nexthop code will use an empty NHA_GROUP attribute, but it
requires at least 1 entry in order to function properly. Otherwise we
end up derefencing null or random pointers all over the place due to not
having any nh_grp_entry members allocated, nexthop code relies on having at
least the first member present. Empty NHA_GROUP doesn't make any sense so
just disallow it.
Also add a WARN_ON for any future users of nexthop_create_group().
