While enhancing the neighbour code to handle multiple network
namespaces I noticed that decnet is assuming neigh_parms_alloc
will allways succeed, which is clearly wrong.  So handle the
failure.

I don't think this one is correct.

During failure cleanup you also have to invoke the neighbour parms
->down() operation if present, else you leave multicast entries on the
ethernet device for example.
