linux网络协议栈neigh_update

/* Generic update routine.
   -- lladdr is new lladdr or NULL, if it is not supplied.
   -- new    is new state.
   -- flags
	NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE allows to override existing lladdr,
				if it is different.
	NEIGH_UPDATE_F_WEAK_OVERRIDE will suspect existing "connected"
				lladdr instead of overriding it
				if it is different.
				It also allows to retain current state
				if lladdr is unchanged.
	NEIGH_UPDATE_F_ADMIN	means that the change is administrative.

	NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE_ISROUTER allows to override existing
				NTF_ROUTER flag.
	NEIGH_UPDATE_F_ISROUTER	indicates if the neighbour is known as
				a router.

   Caller MUST hold reference count on the entry.

重要流程：

1. 邻居表项从invalid更新valid，查询arp queue上是否有skb,表明之前有报文因为地址无法解析暂存在了arp_queue上。此时表项地址解析完成，变为有效状态，从arp_queue中取出所有待发送的报文skb，发送出去n1->output(skb)，并清空表项的arp_queue。
