Subject: [PATCHv2 RFC net-next 7/7] net: pending_confirm is not used anymore

When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different
neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations.
As last step, we can remove the pending_confirm flag.

Reported-by: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@...wei.com>
Fixes: 5110effee8fd ("net: Do delayed neigh confirmation.")
Fixes: f2bb4bedf35d ("ipv4: Cache output routes in fib_info nexthops.")
Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@....bg>
