Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v2 2/2] arpd: fix parsing of unlikely long comments

In case the commented out line was longer than the buffer size,
the remaining part was previously not properly skipped.

With this fix we should now continue ignoring lines starting with #
until we find a newline character.
