[PATCH] net: fix __neigh_event_send()

commit 7fee226ad23 (net: add a noref bit on skb dst) missed one spot
where an skb is enqueued, with a possibly not refcounted dst entry.

__neigh_event_send() inserts skb into arp_queue, so we must make sure
dst entry is refcounted, or dst entry can be freed by garbage collector
after caller exits from rcu protected section.

Applied, thanks Eric.

Ingo can we get a confirmation that this fixes the bootup crash?

Sure, will let you know how it goes.

Preliminary testing shows that Eric's patch solves the problem.

Thanks!
