Subject: [PATCH 5.4 018/434] neighbour: remove neigh_cleanup() method

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit f394722fb0d0f701119368959d7cd0ecbc46363a ]

neigh_cleanup() has not been used for seven years, and was a wrong design.

Messing with shared pointer in bond_neigh_init() without proper
memory barriers would at least trigger syzbot complains eventually.

It is time to remove this stuff.
