The function batadv_bla_backbone_dump_bucket must be able to handle non-complete dumps of a single bucket. It tries to do that by saving the latest dumped index in *idx_skip to inform the caller about the current state. But the caller only assumes that buckets were not completely dumped when the return code is non-zero. This function must therefore also return a non-zero index when the dumping of an entry failed. Otherwise the caller will just skip all remaining buckets. And the function must also reset *idx_skip back to zero when it finished a bucket. Otherwise it will skip the same number of entries in the next bucket as the previous one had.
