Subject: [patch net-next] neigh: use NEIGH_VAR_INIT in ndo_neigh_setup functions.

When ndo_neigh_setup is called, the bitfield used by NEIGH_VAR_SET is
not initialized yet. This might cause confusion for the people who use
NEIGH_VAR_SET in ndo_neigh_setup. So rather introduce NEIGH_VAR_INIT for
usage in ndo_neigh_setup.
