Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] net: neigh: persist proxy config across link flaps

From: David Decotigny <ddecotig@...gle.com>

Without this patch, the 'ip neigh add proxy' config is lost when the
cable or peer disappear, ie. when the link goes down while staying
admin up. When the link comes back, the config is never recovered.

This patch makes sure that such an nd proxy config survives a switch
or cable issue.
