Subject: Subject: [PATCH] vxlan: only reduce known arp boardcast request to
 support, virtual IP

The purpose of vxlan arp reduce feature is to reply the boardcast
arp request in vtep instead of sending it out to save traffic.
The current implemention drops arp packet, if the ip cannot be
found in neigh table. In the case of virtual IP address, user
defines IP address without management from SDN controller. The IP
address does not exist in neigh table, so the arp boardcast request
from a client can not be sent to the server who owns the virtual IP
address.

This patch allow the arp request to be sent out if:
1. not arp boardcast request
2. cannot be found in neigh table
3. arp record status is not NUD_CONNECTED

The user defined of virtual IP address works while arp reduce still
suppress the arp boardcast for IP address managed by SDN controller
with this patch.
