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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
