nit: I know this is taken from the original code but here you use uint16_t
as the iterator while the loop directly
below uses size_t for the same rule->n_nexthops, using size_t would be
consistent and match rule->n_nexthops decleration.

Could you move the family check below the empty string filter? Before this
patch nexthops = ["10.0.0.1", ""] would get
accepted and installed as a valid single-nexthop reroute but your patch
causes it to be rejected because the empty string
evaluates as an IPv6 address. I know this is a misconfiguration but is
degrading it the intent of this patch?
