Bob Gilligan 53385d2d1d neigh: Netlink notification for administrative NUD state change
The neighbour code sends up an RTM_NEWNEIGH netlink notification if
the NUD state of a neighbour cache entry is changed by a timer (e.g.
from REACHABLE to STALE), even if the lladdr of the entry has not
changed.

But an administrative change to the the NUD state of a neighbour cache
entry that does not change the lladdr (e.g. via "ip -4 neigh change
...  nud ...") does not trigger a netlink notification.  This means
that netlink listeners will not hear about administrative NUD state
changes such as from a resolved state to PERMANENT.

This patch changes the neighbor code to generate an RTM_NEWNEIGH
message when the NUD state of an entry is changed administratively.
