Subject: 2.6.38-rc1: arp triggers RTNL assertion

With 2.6.38-rc1 when I run: arp -Ds 192.168.2.41 eth0 pub
I see:

RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/neighbour.c (589)
Pid: 2330, comm: arp Not tainted 2.6.38-rc1-00132-g8d99641-dirty #1

Figured I'd Cc Eric as this could be related to commit 941666c2,
"net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()"

Config attached, just in case (the uncommited change, in the tree this
kernel was built from, is just Chuck Lever's recent nfs3xdr.c patch).
