staging: lustre: Ignore hops if not explicitly set
Since the # of hops is not a mandatory parameter the LU-6060 patch will cause problems to already existing systems since it changes the behavior by which a route is determined down. To fix this case the # of hops now defaults to LNET_UNDEFINED_HOPS if no hop count is specified. LNET_UNDEFINED_HOPS is defined to ((__u32)-1). When it's printed as %d, it displays as -1. __u32 is used through out the call stack for hop count to explicitly define the size of the hop count and to avoid any sizing issues when passing data to and from the kernel. To keep existing behavior both lnet_compare_routes() and LNetDist() will treat undefined hop count as hop count 1. When executing the logic in lnet_parse_rc_info() there is no longer an assumption that the default hop count is 1. If the hop count is 1 then it must've been explicitly set by the user.
