Subject: [PATCH] arp: Remove the arp_hh_ops structure

The arp_hh_ops structure is similar to the arp_generic_ops structure.
but the latter is more general,so remove the arp_hh_ops structure.

Fix when took out the neigh->ops assignment:
8.973653] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
[    8.975027] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
[    8.976310] PGD 0 P4D 0
[    8.977036] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
[    8.977973] CPU: 1 PID: 210 Comm: sd-resolve Not tainted 5.11.0-rc7-02046-g4591591ab715 #1
[    8.979998] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014
[    8.981996] RIP: 0010:neigh_probe (kbuild/src/consumer/net/core/neighbour.c:1009)
