[ Upstream commit 83d5782681cc12b3d485a83cb34c46b2445f510c ]
The driver tries to periodically refresh neighbours that are used to
reach nexthops. This is done by periodically calling neigh_event_send().
However, if the neighbour becomes dead, there is nothing we can do to
return it to a connected state and the above function call is basically
a NOP.
This results in the nexthop never being written to the device's
adjacency table and therefore never used to forward packets.
Fix this by dropping our reference from the dead neighbour and
associating the nexthop with a new neigbhour which we will try to
refresh.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
