Subject[PATCH v3] neighbour: confirm neigh entries when ARP packet is received
Date
Update 'confirmed' timestamp when ARP packet is received. It shouldn't
affect locktime logic and anyway entry can be confirmed by any higher-layer
protocol. Thus it makes sense to confirm it when ARP packet is received.

Fixes: 77d7123342 ("neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effective")
Signed-off-by: Vasily Khoruzhick <vasilykh@arista.com>

v2: - update comment to match new code.
v3: - fix wording in commit message, make 'Fixes' tag one line, remove extra new line
between 'Fixes' and 'Signed-off-by'.
