Subject: [PATCH 3.11 068/144] neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from neigh_periodic_work()

3.11.10.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Duan Jiong <duanj.fnst@...fujitsu.com>

commit feff9ab2e7fa773b6a3965f77375fe89f7fd85cf upstream.

If the neigh table's entries is less than gc_thresh1, the function
will return directly, and the reachabletime will not be recompute,
so the reachabletime can be guessed.
