Why I did it
Fixes #15803
In SONiC chassis, routes have recursive nexthop resolution when the routes are learnt from remote linecard.
In some cases after recursive nexthop resolution the number of nexthop for a route could reach
256
.Zebra ran out of space when filling up 256 nexthops which causes zebra crash.
