Subject: [PATCH 3.16 076/245] neighbour: remove neigh_cleanup() method

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit f394722fb0d0f701119368959d7cd0ecbc46363a upstream.

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.
